12 blossoms or 6 servings

Preparation

1. Drain tuna and put into container of food processor or electric blender. Add yogurt, horseradish and mayonnaise and blend to fine paste.
2. Open zucchini blossoms (make sure yours have not been sprayed with insecticide) and fill with paste. Tie ends of petals at top as if tying a bandana.
3. Beat egg yolk until light and golden.
4. Beat whites until moderately stiff. Fold into yolk along with beer.
5. Dredge stuffed blossoms in flour, then dip to coat well with batter.
6. Heat oil to depth of 1/2 inch in heavy skillet. Add batter-coated blossoms a few at a time. When batter has set on bottom carefully turn blossoms and cook until nicely brown all over.
