Spiralizing Courgettes and other veg!

[Mrs Bee]

Oh dear, I shouldn't have seen this post. I have just checked out the spiralizers and popped one on my wish list.

Oh dear, oh dear. have too many gadgets already.

Muddled, I'm convinced. That recipe looks great. Now I just have to get a spiraliser. Might have to do a Mrs Bee and put it on my wish list for a bit before going for it.

Mrs Bee, check out Muddled's recipe and then, on the same blog, look at the sweet potato noodles with spinach and cashew sauce. Yum!

I haven't clicked any links but surely spiralising can only mean one thing? I've only done it once and it was delicious, so thanks for reminding me! But I didn't need a tool, just a bamboo skewer and a knife.

Peeled spuds, skewer in lengthwise, cut through with a sharp knife through to the skewer, then spiral the length of the potato. ease gently apart, remove skewer, throw a few into a pan of cold water and bring to the boil. Drain when they start boiling, cover in oil and spice of choice - ras al hanout!!!!!! - and bake in the oven for about 30-40mins.

Maybe not, but I think I do something similar: Hasselback potatoes
Place your potato lengthways (peeled or not, as you prefer) and make cuts every few millimetres almost all the way through. It helps if you put your potato in a large spoon, as the edge of the spoon stops the knife from cutting right through. Splay the slices apart slightly and brush with olive oil or butter. Bake till cooked through.

And you're right, they are delicious, but this version might be even easier than yours... I might just have to make some tonight. Thanks for reminding me.

spiralising anyone?

I've had my spiralizer for a good couple of years now (forgot I had it !) it was shoved in the back of a cupboard!

Anyway last night I fished it out and spiralised a couple of yellow courgettes to have with a bolognese,made with homemade roasted tomato passata and wow yum! really loved it! I'm not a fan of pasta but do love italian sauces, I shan't be hiding it in the back of the cupboard again. Anybody else use one? and what have you made with it?

Any suggestions greatly received
