Flowers can be cheesy. But deep-fried zucchini blossoms make them delicious too.
INGREDIENTS:
Zucchini flowers
1/2 anchovy per flower
1 mozzarella bocconcini per flower
Batter:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups water
1 tablespoon salt
STEPS:
1.) Clean the flowers in cool water and dry with paper towels. Cut off the stems, reach inside the flower and pull out the pistil. Inside the flower, stuff 1/2 of an anchovy and a mozzarella ball. Repeat for remaining zucchini flowers.
2.) Make the batter. Place flour in a medium bowl. Whisk in water, then add salt.
3.) Heat fryer to 350°F. Dip each zucchini flower in the batter, then place in the fryer basket, working quickly. Fry for 1-3 minutes, or until just beginning to turn golden. Remove flowers and sprinkle with salt. Enjoy immediately.

Frankie be looking like a full course meal
We grow zucchini and make these all the time at home; I recommend seltzer water and cake flour for an extra-light batter.
What do you know. Fried flowers
They've been popular here in Australia for a long time.
Great with cream cheese mixed with herbs and spices.
Where do you get the flowers from
Comment if you know
Where I am it is so hard to find zucchini blossoms even at local farmers markets. I want to try this so bad!
I miss the history segments
This is Flor de Calabaza in Spanish. I love adding it to quesadillas. I will have to try this soon!!

In Cyprus we stuff it with rice, tomatoes and onion with herbs and spices and boil it
Wow in Bangladesh they deep fry the flower to but make it more spicy 😀
