CRISPY SQUASH BLOSSOMS WITH CRAB AND TARRAGON



Crispy Squash Blossoms with Crab and Tarragon image

This is definitely a dish that has evolved over time for me. It's not a dish that my mom used to make for the Feast of the Seven Fishes, but since I became a chef, this is what I have brought to the mix. Heads up: These taste best fried-to-order.

Time 40m

Yield 15 blossoms

Number Of Ingredients 18

5 cups neutral oil, such as peanut or canola
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped shallots (about 1 shallot)
1 tablespoon chopped garlic (about 3 cloves)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup whole-milk ricotta, drained of any excess water (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup mascarpone
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over
15 squash blossoms, bottoms trimmed
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup rice flour
1 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 to 4 1/2 cups soda water

Steps:

  • For frying: Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the filling: Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic and a large pinch of salt and sweat, stirring occasionally, until softened but not brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside to cool.
  • Mix together the ricotta, mascarpone, chives, tarragon and lemon zest in a large bowl. Stir in the garlic-shallot mixture and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the crabmeat. Chill in the fridge at least 15 minutes or up to 1 day before stuffing.
  • Shape 15 heaping tablespoons of the filling into ovals the size of the squash blossoms. Carefully open each blossom and gently nestle the pre-shaped filling inside, pressing the petals around the filling to seal. Keep refrigerated while you make the batter, or up to 1 day in advance.
  • Meanwhile, make the batter: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the soda water until it coats your fingers.
  • Dip each blossom in the batter and allow excess to drain off slightly. Working in 2 batches, carefully place the blossoms in the Dutch oven and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the blossoms to a paper towel-lined plate, sprinkle with salt immediately and repeat with the remaining blossoms.

COUNTRY FRIED SQUASH

This recipe was my Grandmother's and it actually won a Blue Ribbon in the Tennessee State Fair! Be sure to use fresh squash, I use butternut but other squash would also be good.

  • Whisk together cheese and egg. Stir in lemon juice and zest. Gently fold in basil and crab. Season with salt to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Using a small spoon, carefully fill blossoms with crab mixture, keeping the petals as tight as possible. The number of blossoms needed for this amount of filling ranges, depending on the size of your zucchini flowers.
  • Add flour to a medium bowl and gradually pour in beer while whisking. It’s okay if there are some lumps, just try not to allow the batter to deflate. Dip stuffed blossoms in, one at a time, allow excess batter to drip off, and immediately place blossoms into hot oil. Cook a total of 3 to 4 minutes, flipping half way through, or until golden brown. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Drain on a paper towel- lined plate. Sprinkle lightly with salt. You may have excess batter remaining, which you can use for any extra unstuffed zucchini blossoms, if desired. Enjoy while hot.
