I only have one thing to say about these so called ‘Mexican’ Courgettes, or well, two: They’re NOT mexican (adding sweetcorn does not make it mexican, and besides, I’m not really sure feta cheese is a common mexican food ) and kids, don’t try this at home.

For Xmas I bought my man a cookbook called The Vegetarian Student Cookbook. It has a buttload of good recipes, but this isn’t one of them. Happily unaware of this I cooked up these courgettes for us and we ate them. Or atleast tried. After two bites of mine I spat it out and refused to take another bite. My man said they were good, until he too had his second bite. We won’t be making this again. There was nothing wrong with the courgettes themselves, but the combination of sweetcorn, courgette, feta cheese and egg really wasn’t a good one.

To go with the courgettes I made some Spicy Chips. They were absolutely lovely. The combination of sweet potato, potato and curry paste mixed with a bit of oil was just delicious. I cannot even describe how fantastic this was. I had never actually tried sweet potato before, weird as it might sound but I really liked it. With the price being ridiculously high here in Sweden I’ll likely not have it often, but consider it a rare treat when I do.

Also, i made a 30 second sauce to go with the chips. Mild youghurt with some crumbled feta cheese and a bit of black pepper.

Spicy Chips:

• 1 sweet potato
• 2 large potatoes
• 50 ml of oil (or about 1.5 fl oz)
• 1 (big) teaspoon of curry paste
• salt

Peel the sweet potato, cut into wedges. Cut the (unpeeled) potatoes into wedges. Mix the curry paste with the oil, pour it over the wedges and toss them about, making sure to get the oil everywhere. Salt the wedges and put them in the oven for about 40 minutes. Oven temperature 180 degrees celcius (350 F). ENJOY!
