Snowy Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 My neighbour on the allotment is italian and suggested I cook my courgette flowers as follows: Stuff with mozarella cheese and a smidgen of anchovy Deep fry I haven't got any yet! Anyone going to try it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milly Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I keep thinking about it, but I'm not sure how - the flowers look tightly closed apart from a very short period. Are you supposed to prise them open? I'd like to see someone doing it first! Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I have been mulling it over too, but the flowers look so great on the plant that I can't bear to pick them Milly, you are supposed to pick them closed I think, or they would be hard to stuff Whenever I have seen them cooked on TV, they look small & shut anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I have seen them coated in tempura batter and deep fried on Jamie and they looked great - not tried it as hubby would not eat it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Did them last yr in sparkling water batter which is very light - yummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I made them last year! You need to shake the blossom to get rid of any critters, then stuff with a bit of mozzerella, fold the petals over the cheese and dip the whole thing into a very light batter and fry (I shallow fried) for a minute or two until golden. They were quite tasty! Saronne x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I have only BBQ'd them but they were lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 We have eaten them when in Italy a couple of years ago - a good starter. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
