Courgette season is peaking! 💚
Call it zucchini, courgette, or κολοκυθάκια (kolokithakia) - it’s one of the most beautiful, affordable, and versatile vegetables to cook with.
I’m sharing my super easy stuffed courgette recipe made with just rice, courgette, salt and pepper, yogurt, and eggs. Simple ingredients, comforting flavors, and the perfect way to celebrate the season.
Why not make it, tag me, and let me know how it turned out? I’d love to see your creations!
Simple, comforting, and perfect for courgette season. 💚
