Kabak çiçeği dolması

Where it belongs

Kabak çiçeği dolması is a delicate stuffed dish made by filling courgette blossoms with a fine mixture. In the Aegean it lives on as part of the cooking brought by Cretan migrants. The flowers are gathered just before sunrise so they stay open, then filled, tucked closed and cooked over a low flame. In Cyprus both communities make it the same way.
