Preparation
Zucchini flowers can be fried as is or stuffed. We offer two different types of fillings. The flowers can also be stuffed without being fried.
Batter
- Wash the zucchini flowers in cold water and dry them well. The pistil is edible, but for less bitterness, remove it.
- Mix the ingredients with a whisk until a smooth paste is obtained.
- Dip the flowers in the baking mix and coat well.
- Fry, in a skillet or deep fryer, a few flowers at a time in very hot oil. When the fritters are golden brown on both sides, place them on absorbent paper.
Prosciutto stuffing
- Wrap the cheese stick and the basil leaf in the prosciutto.
- Insert inside the flower.
- Dip the flowers in a beaten egg (or in batter) and fry in the pan.
Cheese stuffing
- Sauté the onions and zucchini in the pan. Salt and pepper.
- Combine cooked vegetables and cheese.
- Insert a small ball of the mixture inside each flower.
- Dip the flowers in a beaten egg (or in batter) and fry in the pan.
Enjoy!
