Ingredients:

Potatoes - any type, enought to cover a shallow oven dish bottom cut about 8mm thick
Courgettes - Same amount as above
A red Onion (maybe 2)
Double Cream
Grated cheese
squeeze of Lemon Juice
tsp Mustard

I tend to guess some the ingredients so add to taste.

1. Chop the spuds into 8mm sliced, par boil for 5-8 mins under till nearly cooked

2. Chop the courgettes into the same size slices

3. peel the onion(s). Finely dice about 2 Tblsp and then cut the rest into rings

4. Fry the finely chopped onion in a little olive oil for 3-4 mins, add the mustard, lemon juice and cream, bring almost to the boil then take off the heat and add  a good handful of cheddar cheese, more if you want it thicker. Stir well

5, put a little sauce in the bottom of your dish, arrange a layer of spuds, i usually overlap them. cover with a bit more sauce

6. add a layer of courgette, cover with sauce.

7. Pop some red onion rings on the top and cover with any remaining sauce and some more cheese.

8. Pop in a hot oven until bubbling and gong brown on top and the courgettes are cooked

hmmmm

thanks for the ideas :)
another fully home-grown dish awaits (well, apart from the cream and cheese, but who is counting ;D)

I thought I'd lose weight when I got my lotty but I have been plonking it on!!!! S'not fair  :(   We eat barbies and fish n chips up there all washed down with copious amounts of Stella, people turn up in the evening to see us and we have a glass or two of wine.  Then there's all that cooking with oil, butter, cream, cheese  ;D   Must make a note to myself to turn over a new leaf  ;D

That just my cup of tea,

I made this last night (http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/r_0000001092.asp)
and it was delicious!. Good ole Delia...
The only thing I would say is that you need to salt the courgettes first. I put them straight into the pan and they created such a lot of juice they were swimming in it. However it didn't detract from the taste - very nice indeed!

Thanks dicky :D I made this last night and it was lovely!

Good to hear it worked Jessevieve as I have a couple of nice steaks out for tonight and fancied this with it!  I shall go prepare it now!  ;D

I think I'll try it tonight as OH (beginning to hate the sight of courgettes  ;D) is away on a course.  I pulled some spuds last night to go with it

Last night I made fennel soup and it was FANTASTIC.  I have only just started eating fennel but have not grown it myself but will be doing so.  My lotty mate who gave me the fennels has given me some seed too  :)

Well, 10 out of 10 for this one!  I didn't have lashings of cream so only really had enough sauce for the top, but even so, the spuds were creamy yet firm, and the courgettes (I used white volunteer) absorbed all of the delicious flavours from the cream, lemon and mustard. 

I did salt and leave the courgettes to stand for about 30 mins before layering the dish up as the volunteers seem to produce lashings of liquid and I didn't want the dish to go mushy.

This is on the list to do again!  ;D

That is so delicious...yum! ;D

Made it again tonight with a gold rush and a green courgette which i didn't grow.

As a variation i put some chopped up bacon in as well when I fried the onion. Mushrooms might be nice in there as well

If you make it let me know
