FRIED ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In large, high-walled skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375˚F (190˚C).
• Using a paring knife, remove the spiny leaves around the base of the zucchini blossoms. If there are long stems, trim to about ½-inch long.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and salt.
• Pour the water into the flour mixture and stir to combine, but do not overmix. The batter should have the consistency of heavy cream.
• Working in batches, dip each zucchini blossom in the batter, letting any excess drip off, then gently lower into the hot oil and fry for 90 seconds. Flip and fry for 60 seconds on the other side, until golden brown.
• Remove the blossoms from the oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season lightly with salt.
• Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
• Enjoy!

FRIED CHEESE-STUFFED ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS

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.
