This is a recipe that originates in Liguria, the Italian region I come from.. we love courgettes and make tons of stuff with them. As you know from other Italian recipes, we don’t throw anything away (while I lived in Germany I always used to see turnip greens being discarded while in Pulia they make delicious pasta with it. Read more ) Anyway, these are fresh courgette flowers (zucchini flowers) from our garden in Peckham. We’ve been trying to grow a variety local to my hometown called “trombetta” which is a long and thin courgette with a very sweet flavour. For anyone interested in finding out what they look like, you can click here. They are normally stewed or used in pies such as the famous “torta verde” (green pie) which I am eager to prepare as soon as they’ll have fruited. See less
