You might enjoy this dish on our tours in Liguria during the summer time when zucca di trombetta is in season. It is harvested in a juvenile form, when it resembles a thin and long zucchina, and it gets its shape from being grown hanging down off a pergola. In summer, this wonderful veggie is most often served raw, chopped in a salad, or as a sautéed side dish.
