FIORI DI ZUCCA FRITTI (ANGELINA'S FRIED ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS)

Steps:
- Take your blossoms and trim off the stems (if they have one) and the spindly little leaves that cling to their base. Clean them gently with a towel and then, one by one, gently open the petals up just enough to allow you to reach in and remove the pistil. Be careful not to damage the delicate petals if you can, which are extremely delicate. (But if the petals rip, don't despair-see Notes below.)
- Take a strip of mozzarella and stuff it into the flower, then an anchovy fillet, then another strip of mozzarella. (Do not overstuff!) Then close the flower up, pressing the petals together gently with your hands around the stuffing.
- Now, in a large skillet, heat enough olive oil to come up 2cm/half inch up the sides. While the oil is heating, arrange the stuffed blossoms beside two trays, one with some flour for dredging and the other with the egg batter ingredients, which you will have beaten together lightly.
- Proceed as you would with any fried vegetables: Taking each blossom in hand gingerly and, making sure with your fingers that they stay closed, dredge them in the flour and then in the egg batter. As soon as each blossom is battered, slide it careful into the skillet. Shallow-fry the zucchini blossom in the olive oil until lightly brown on each side.
- Drain them on paper towels or on a baking rack as they are done.
- Serve as soon as all the fritters are done, while they are still warm.
{FIORI DI ZUCCA FRITTI} CLASSIC ITALIAN FRIED ZUCCHINI FLOWERS RECIPE
Few places do fried food to the level of Rome. From the suppli, to the Animelle fritte (sweetbreads), and the Carciofi alla giudia (fried artichokes) to (our fave) fried zucchini blossoms, it's hard to cross a menu that doesn't have at least one thing fried. We've long stuffed zucchini blossoms with ricotta (blended with herbs and lemon zest) but this way, with mozzarella and anchovies, is bold and unapologetic, a lot like Rome. I can't wait to be back in Rome, but in the meanwhile will remember it by making this {Fiori Di Zucca Fritti} Classic Italian Fried Zucchini Flowers recipe.

Steps:
- Make The Batter: Combine flour, sparkling water, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set the batter aside to rest at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, fill a heavy-bottomed saucepan with oil to a 1-inch depth and heat to 350°F.
- Clean The Zucchini Blossoms: Clean zucchini blossoms by gently twisting the pistils (often covered in pollen) from the center of the flowers until they come off. Using a damp paper towel, carefully remove any dirt from the petals. Fill The Blossoms: Mix together the cheeses and anchovies and fill each blossom with the mixture. Holding the blossoms by the flower tips, dip them in the batter until well coated. Let the excess batter drip off and place on a wire cooling rack (set over a plate or in a rimmed baking sheet) until ready to use. Repeat to coat all the flowers.
- Fry The Blossoms: When blossoms are ready and oil is heated, carefully add some blossoms to the oil (do not overcrowd the oil - just cook 2 to 4 blossoms at a time). Cook about 4 to 5 minutes per batch until the blossoms are golden brown.Remove with a spider strainer or a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate, season with a pinch of sea salt and a squeeze of lemon. Repeat to cook all the blossoms then serve immediately as is or with the salsa verde passed on the side.
