Courgette Stew
HISTORY
The origin of the courgette is not entirely clear, partly because common usage of the word courgette often relates to plants that transcend botanical classifications It was not widely eaten in Europe before the twentieth century and some sources claim that it was developed from the squash, first brought to Europe from the Americas during Christopher Columbus' crusades. Squash have been cultivated in Central America for more than five thousand years and courgettes play a prominent role in Mexican cuisine today.
