Prepare the flowers \u2013 I use the male flowers (these have a thin stem compared to female flowers which have a thicker \u2018stem\u2019 which is the zucchini. Simply remove the stamen with a pair of scissors or tweezers. Wash and dry gently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filling \u2013 Mix together the below with a spoon, and stuff about 1 teaspoon inside the flower then gently \u2018twist\u2019 the petals closed, these are now ready for the batter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest<\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice<\/li>
  • \u00bd a tub smooth cream cheese (115g)<\/li>

    Put a small pot on with about 5cm of oil for frying and heat the oil before making the batter. Once the oil is nearly hot, test with a piece of potato, it should start sizzling straight away, the oil should be hot but not smoking hot \u2013 180 degrees, mix the batter gently in a small bowl (do not over mix) it should look like thin pancake batter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • \u00bc cup sifted cake flour<\/li>
    • \u00bc tsp salt<\/li>
    • 90 ml soda water<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Dredge the stuffed zucchini flowers in the batter and lay in the hot oil, turn half way through cooking and drain on a kitchen towel once golden which should just take a few minutes. Best eaten hot with home made tomato sauce, pesto, or a squeeze of lemon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
