So nice to hear from you...Oh my this d...Hi Audra, <br />So nice to hear from you...Oh my this dish with the cucuzza is so tasty. Very similar to a Zucchini, (only sweeter). I know that you would love this one. Now you live in Az. Not sure where you can get this veggie, but maybe in an Italian speciality store, or maybe a farmers market. When I'm in doubt, I google it....Thanks for your comment..Hope that you are doing well and have a wonderful day. I do read your blog posts, just have not had time to write anything...But I love your posts, especially the ones you write about books, and crocheting/knitting.<br />Dottie :) Dottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088546024012627842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-60832678424817186582015-09-16T11:39:45.861-04:002015-09-16T11:39:45.861-04:00I've never eaten cucuzza before (or even heard...I've never eaten cucuzza before (or even heard of it, to be honest). But I love zucchini so I imagine I'd like this, as well. Sadly I don't think it's available in any of the grocery stores in my area. :-( Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08190171173847901430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-80878661164167716952015-09-16T00:34:13.961-04:002015-09-16T00:34:13.961-04:00Ciao Alida,
Thanks for your comment. So happy to h...Ciao Alida,<br />Thanks for your comment. So happy to hear that your dad has had success with his Cucuzza this year. You are correct that they are so good. I never had it made the way you do with the mint and the olive oil. I guess we have to try each others way of cooking them. My mom stuffs them but I also remember if some of them come apart she would just cut it up in chunks/slices and cooked them along side the stuffed ones. With the onion and the celery it makes it even sweeter than they are already. Thanks, this photo of my mom was taken so many years ago. I love to see her cooking in the kitchen but she never really liked to have her photo taken. I have used this one before...Now forget it, she very rarely cooks much anymore do to her age (86) and her not well with arthritis. But it is good to have at least one photo of her in the kitchen...Have a great day/night..<br />Hugs x Dottie :)Dottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088546024012627842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-59564982987163221242015-09-15T17:25:44.158-04:002015-09-15T17:25:44.158-04:00I have had many of those this summer.

I usually cook them in the pan with olive oil and a few leaves of mint but I have never tried stuffing them. Great idea! Your mom, coming from the south of Italy new exactly what to do with them. I love her photo!<br />Thank you for your fab recipe. Ciao!Alidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852806349180621183noreply@blogger.com
