kolokytháki

Courgette or zucchini or summer squash.

In Greece, it appears in dozens of recipes: grated, in kolokythokeftédes, or stuffed as yemistá, in a pie (κολοκυθόπιτα, kolokythópita), or in a batzína, or simply grilled κολοκυθάκια τηγανιτά (kolokythákia tiganitá) on a plate of mezédes.

On Cyprus, they make κολοκυθάκι με τα αυγά (kolyktháki me ta avgá): fried slices of zucchini with scrambled eggs, frequently served as a meze

You may also find the blossoms, ανθοί κολοκυνθιας (anthí kolokynthiás) or κολοκυθοκορφάδες (kolokythokorfádes) stuffed with rice or cheese and herbs, or popping up in various summer dishes and salads.
