Stuffed Zucchini Flowers Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Gently discard yellow stamens in centre of flowers.
  • Finely chop olives, anchovies and basil.
  • Place in a bowl with ricotta and season to taste with pepper. Spoon a teaspoonful of ricotta mixture into center of each flower, then twist petal ends to enclose.
  • For batter, place flour and 1/2 tsp salt in a bowl. Add oil and beer then whisk until a smooth batter forms. In another bowl, whisk egg white until soft peaks form then gently fold into batter.
  • heat deep oil to medium heat until 180ºC, dip flowers, 1 at a time, into batter, allowing excess to drain off, then deep-fry for 2 minutes or until golden. Scatter with salt and serve with lemon wedges.

    These are so beautiful! I've never had the blossoms but have wanted to try them since I saw them on Bitchin' Kitchen. Will look for some at the farmer's market next Saturday, fingers crossed.
