Welcome back to episode two of making dishes I’ve never made before. Today we’re making fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta and goat cheese and served with a homemade marinara. Here’s your bite. Here’s my bite. So, so good. And here’s how to make it. First, we’re going to get started on the marinara. So, sizzle your garlic with Calabrian chilies and a little bit of oil. Pour in your crushed tomatoes. Then, add a bit of water to the can. Give it a swirl and pour that in too. Season generously with salt. Toss in some fresh basil and let that simmer gently while you prepare the rest. For the mixture, I did a combination of ricotta and goat cheese, but you can do all of one or the other. Then I seasoned with salt, pepper, fresh basil, parmesan cheese, grated garlic, and lemon zest. Give that a mix, then set aside. If your zucchini blossoms have the squash still attached, you can totally leave it. They’re edible. Just try to gently pull out the stamon that’s inside cuz they can be a little bit better. Anyways, I’m not really sure the proper way to stuff these, but my finger worked best. And I did about a tablespoon in there. Then I gently twisted the end to form a seal. Now, the batter is just equal parts cold seltzer water, flour, and a pinch of salt. You’re looking for a pancake batter type of consistency. So, just keep that in mind. Now, all that’s left to do is fry them gently, season with salt while they’re hot, and enjoy.
