We’re into our 4th year of active organic vegetable growing; our patch and greenhouse are full and we’re trying out a few new root vegetables this year. As usual, we’ve got courgette plants; altho it’s been providing us with a reasonable harvest, we noticed that it wasn’t as abundant as last year. Nevertheless, August’s a very good time to harvest courgettes.
Courgette & Prawns Sambal Tumis’s a fusion dish; a good mix between East meets West stirfry. 🙂
