Categories     appetizer

Time 16m

Yield 8 blossoms

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sparkling water
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
1/3 cup (2 ounces) goat cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) cream cheese, at room temperature
2 teaspoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1 green onion, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
8 zucchini blossoms* see Cook's Note
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, water and salt until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, heavy cream, basil, and green onion. Mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons filling into each blossom. Close the blossoms and gently twist the petals to seal.
  • In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in about 1 minute.) Dip the stuffed zucchini blossoms in the batter and allow any excess batter to drip off. Fry for 1 to 2 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown. Allow the cooked blossoms to drain on paper towels.
  • Season with salt and serve with your favorite marinara sauce or vinaigrette.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
1 1/2 cups soft goat cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 bunch flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 bunch chives, chopped
Kosher salt
8 zucchini blossoms, stamens removed
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup dry white wine
2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 anchovy
1 garlic clove, smashed
1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves, chopped
Crushed red pepper flakes
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
2 large zucchini, julienned
Kosher salt
One 4-ounce block Parmesan cheese
2 cups arugula

Steps:

  • For the blossoms: Heat the oil to 375 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
  • Combine the goat cheese, Parmesan, parsley and chives in a medium bowl. Season with salt. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag; cut a hole in the bag. Gently pipe the mixture into the zucchini blossoms and pinch the ends together a bit.
  • Whisk together the flour and white wine in a medium bowl. Working in batches so you don¿t crowd the pot, dip each blossom into the batter and then carefully place in the hot oil. Cook until lightly puffed and golden, about 3 minutes. Remove the blossoms from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt immediately.
  • For the noodles: Coat a large skillet with some olive oil, add the anchovy, garlic, oregano and some red pepper flakes, and turn the heat to medium. When the garlic gets brown and aromatic, remove it from the skillet and discard. Add the tomatoes, some salt, and 1/4 cup water. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the water is reduced by about half.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat, add the zucchini noodles and toss until just wilted. Taste and season.
  • Toss the arugula with some olive oil and salt and divide it among 4 dinner plates. Top the arugula with some zucchini pasta and 2 zucchini blossoms, shave some Parmesan over the tops, and serve.

STUFFED ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS



Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms image

For a beautiful summery treat, it's hard to top delicate zucchini flowers stuffed with a creamy filling and then lightly fried until crisp and golden. Try to find a good-quality whole-milk ricotta from an Italian deli or specialty food store. The upgrade is worth it here.

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 large zucchini blossoms
3/4 cup fresh whole-milk ricotta (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup grated low-moisture mozzarella (about 1 ounce)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups chilled plain seltzer
Warm marinara, for dipping

Steps:

  • Prepare the zucchini blossoms for stuffing by gently opening the leaves and pinching out the stamen inside each flower. Set the blossoms aside.
  • For the filling, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Transfer to a sandwich-size resealable plastic bag and snip a small corner from one point at the bottom.
  • Open the leaves of a blossom and pipe in about 1 tablespoon of filling (don't overfill). Gently twist the top of the blossom to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining zucchini blossoms and filling.
  • Pour about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet and heat to 360 degrees F. (If you don't have an oil thermometer, you'll know the oil is ready if you drop in a scrap of bread and it sizzles on contact and begins to brown after a few seconds.) Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  • For the batter, whisk the flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the seltzer to make a smooth batter.
  • When the oil is ready, dip the zucchini flowers in the batter one at a time, letting excess batter drip back into the bowl. Add as many as will fit in the skillet without crowding. Fry, turning once, until the batter is light, crisp and golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon to the lined baking sheet to drain and repeat with the remaining blossoms.
  • Serve warm with marinara for dipping.

CRISP ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS STUFFED WITH GOAT CHEESE



Crisp Zucchini Blossoms Stuffed With Goat Cheese image

Zucchini blossoms are a thing of wonder. They are great raw, in a salad, with a drizzle of good olive oil, but when they are coated in a crisp batter and stuffed with a light filling, they are an otherworldly experience. To get a good batter that isn't too thick or oily, ensure that your sparkling or soda water is very well carbonated and ice cold. Also take your time with the oil, testing it a few times to get the perfect temperature. Adjust the temperature as you go, making sure the flowers don't color too quickly.

Time 35m

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon ground sumac
Boiling water
1/4 cup/50 grams ricotta
3 tablespoons/50 grams soft goat cheese
1 teaspoon finely chopped oregano leaves
2 tablespoons/10 grams chopped walnuts
1 lemon, finely grated to get 1 tablespoon zest, then cut into wedges
Flaky sea salt and black pepper
8 zucchini blossoms
About 1 1/2 cups/350 milliliters sunflower oil, for frying
Scant 1/2 cup/60 grams all-purpose flour (plain flour)
1/8 teaspoon baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon/100 milliliters ice-cold sparkling or soda water

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, cover 3/4 tablespoon of the sumac with 1 tablespoon of boiling water and leave to infuse for 5 minutes. Add both types of cheese, oregano, walnuts, lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a generous grind of pepper. Mix well.
  • Fill the flowers by carefully opening them and either spooning or piping about a tablespoon of the ricotta mixture into each, gently pushing the filling all the way to the bottom of each blossom but being careful not to fill them too much; if you can get someone to hold the flower open for you, it would make it much easier. Gently twist the tips of the petals to secure the filling inside and set aside until you're ready to fry.
  • Pour enough oil into a medium (about 8-inch/20-centimeter) nonstick frying pan so that the oil rises about 1 inch/2 centimeters up the sides of the pan. Place on a high heat for 5 minutes and then turn the heat down a fraction.
  • Meanwhile, mix the flour and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Slowly pour in the sparkling water, whisking continuously to form a smooth batter.
  • When bubbles start to surface in the oil, test it by dropping some batter into the oil: if it sizzles, you are ready. (The oil should hover between 320 and 350 degrees Fahrenheit/160 and 180 degrees Celsius.)
  • Lower a zucchini blossom into the batter, turning to coat completely, before carefully placing in the hot oil. Repeat, cooking a few blossoms at a time, adjusting the temperature between batches so they take about 30 seconds on each side to turn a golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and then sprinkle with salt and the remaining 1/4 tablespoon sumac. Serve at once with the lemon wedges alongside.
