Really would hate to waste anything that the members have donated so need some recipe ideas. I have the following, parsnips, peppers, courgette, swede & potatoes, was thinking of making a big batch of veggie soup but I'm kinda bored of soup at the mo, any suggestions of what I could do with it?

Swede freezes well raw. Chop it up into cubes, bag and freeze. It's ready to cook then when you are having a Sunday dinner or something similar. The other ingredients scream roasted veg to me (but that's because I love roasted veg!!!). You could also make a bolognese and use the courgette and peppers.

Peppers - I just slice them and eat them as a snack. Courgettes - grated and cooked like potato rosti. Or grated in a salad. Or grilled.

Cougettes are lovely sliced lengthways and chargrilled. Love roast peppers. Swede - I would cook it, mash it then freeze it.

Parsnips I only really like roasted but have never tried parsnip soup which might be nice

curried parsnip soup is yum.
you could roast and stuff the peppers with rice, mince (I'm sure there's a SW recipe for stuffed peppers)
potatoes - SW Chips!
or swede and potato mash (made with an egg beaten in instead of milk and butter?)

Thanks for the replies everyone, curried parsnip soup sounds lovely & yes I was thinking of roasting the veggies as well so might do both & try swede & potato mash as that sound yummy also!
