Description

Choose only young zucchinis so they have time to bake thoroughly in the oven. Prepared zucchini cylinders should be dipped into boiling water for 5–7 minutes before baking. The special touch of the spicy filling is utskho-suneli. Utskho-suneli is a natural spice made from dried blue fenugreek, giving the dish a pleasant nutty flavor and aroma. Details,
