Question 1

What kind of zucchini is best for zucchini egg bake?

Black Beauty

Widely available due to how easy they are to grow, black beauties are, despite their name, dark green in colour. With tender white flesh and a mild flavour, they are perfect for salads and especially for this tart recipe.

Gadzukes

Another long green variety of courgette, these ones have a subtle sweetness and a crispy texture, making them perfect for salads and pasta dishes.

Dunja

Often used to make fritters, due to their taste and texture, a Dunja courgette also makes the perfect addition to this tart.

When is zucchini season?

Accepted Answer
