Fried zucchini flowers Italian recipe | How to make Stuffed Zucchini Flowers


Ingredients:-
For the dough-
2 cups all-purpose flour (250 grams)
1/2 tsp dry active yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups to 1 3/4 cups of water at room temperature

For stuffing-
8 oz of Ricotta cheese(225 grams)
8 oz of mozzarella cheese (225 grams)
Zucchini flowers fresh picked in the morning.
2 cups or more of oil for frying such as vegetable/canola/sunflower 480 ml

Directions:-
1. Pick your zucchini flowers in the morning when they’re open.
2. Remove the pistil and small spikes on the outside. Rinse and let dry on a paper towel.
3. Prepare the dough by mixing all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
4. Slowly add the water and, with one hand, keep mixing until sticky and smooth. Keep working for at least 5 minutes.
5. Now cover with plastic wrap and let it rise until doubled in size.
6. Depending on the temperature in your house, this could take 2 or more hours.
7. Once the dough is ready, it’s time for the next step.
8. In a deep frying pan filled with the oil bring to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
9. Mix your ricotta with the mozzarella cut in cubes. With a small teaspoon, gently fill the zucchini flower with the mixture.
10. Now in a swirling motion, dip in the batter and fry on medium to high heat turning once until golden.
11. Drain on a plate lined with a paper towel. Cool slightly before eating; otherwise, the ricotta will run out of the flower.

Extra options:-
If you have batter left, you can shred the remaining flowers and some Parmigiano Reggiano and mix together. You can now fry in little zeppole.

I hope you make it and enjoy it!
