Food: Savoury Courgette Cakes

Savoury Courgette Cakes

This recipe is yet another adaptation from Nigel Slater, his Zucchini Cakes with Dill and Feta from the first Kitchen Diaries.  For the sake of frugality I don't use feta but feel they are non the worse for that.  And. as with so many recipes, I swap around the flavourings from time to time, and may use coriander rather than dill, or sometimes (alright, quite often) chuck in a fresh hot red chilli.

Sweet Chilli Sauce

Now that the garlic and shallots have been harvested and the first chillies are fruiting - only a month late thanks to the non-event which was spring 2013 - it's time to make a first batch of sweet chilli sauce.  The first up are the fatalii, hardly unexpected as the plant was over-wintered indoors and then put back outside in May.

This sauce isn't a long-term keeper, not that it would survive long in this household anyway, but one to eat fresh.
