Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms:
Ingredients:
12 zucchini blossoms
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sparkling water
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
Gently rinse the zucchini blossoms and remove the stamens from inside the flowers. Pat them dry and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a smooth filling.
Carefully stuff each zucchini blossom with about 1-2 teaspoons of the cheese filling. Gently twist the petals to seal the filling inside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and sparkling water until you have a smooth batter.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat.
Dip each stuffed zucchini blossom into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and carefully place them into the hot oil.
Fry the blossoms for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried zucchini blossoms to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the stuffed zucchini blossoms immediately as an appetizer or side dish. They are best enjoyed while still warm and crispy.
These stuffed zucchini blossoms are a delightful delicacy that showcases the delicate flavors of the flowers and the creamy filling. Enjoy this unique and delicious dish!
