An old traditional dish that is almost forgotten. If you happen to collect pumpkin blossoms (or someone brings them to you), gather 3-4 small pumpkins and we guarantee you will have a delicious meal.
Ingredients:
1 kilogram of zucchini blossoms
3-4 ripe tomatoes, diced
10 zucchini flowers
5-6 small zucchini, roughly chopped
2-3 potatoes, roughly chopped
1 dry onion, finely chopped
Grelia olive oil
salt-pepper
Start by cleaning the zucchini blossoms. Using a knife, remove the fibers by pulling them from the stem, and cut the stems in half if they are too large. Then clean the zucchini flowers, removing the small leaves under the flower, and remove the stamen. Next, clean the leaves, pulling out any fibers they have, and if they are too large, cut them in half.
Thoroughly wash our herbs first with water and vinegar, then rinse well and start cooking. In a saucepan, heat some olive oil and saute the onion. Then add the potatoes, zucchini blossoms, and let them simmer a little before adding the small zucchini, zucchini flowers, and finally the diced tomato. If necessary, add a little water, lower the heat, and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes until they release their juice. Do not stir during the simmering process, just gently shake the pot by the handles.
Serve hot or cold with crumbled feta cheese and raw olive oil on top.
-You can also add wild greens or carrots.
