Directions
Fried Zucchini or Squash Flowers, I had this at a restaurant in Greece and I loved it, so I am saving this until my mother’s garden produces something to fry I don’t remember where I found it, somewhere on the internet though , This recipe is 5 star! I was in a bit of a rush so I didn’t have time to separate the eggs or refrigerate the batter I just whisked it all together and it was still awesome I didn’t have wine or mozzarella stocked, so my version was really simplified (not that it was any less delicious!) The HB thought I was nuts, until he tried one in a bread bun Now he says we should have them at least once a week My only suggestion would be that if you’re used to having salt in your food, it’s really not optional in this recipe; also, add a dash of pepper and use milk instead of water for the batter! Adding any strong flavored seasoning would be a no no in this recipe because of the subtle flavors of the flower , This recipe is 5 star!
