OVEN ROASTED STUFFED SQUASH BLOSSOMS



Oven Roasted Stuffed Squash Blossoms image

Oven roasting the squash blossoms, instead of frying, makes this a nice light summer dish. Pick your squash blossoms early in the day, and store in the fridge until ready to use. Top with some fresh basil pesto for added yum!

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch rainbow chard, stems removed and leaves chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 ounces chevre (goat cheese)
8 zucchini blossoms, stamen removed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat; add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in chard and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Add basil, salt, and pepper, and cook until basil is soft, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely, about 15 minutes. Place cooled chard mixture between 2 towels and press to remove excess moisture.
  • Stir chevre and chard mixture together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Fill zucchini blossoms about 3/4 full with the goat chevre mixture, and pinch the ends closed. Place filled blossoms in a roasting pan; drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until blossoms are hot, about 10 minutes.

Zucchini, Feta and Squash Blossom Pasta image

Provided by Megan Mitchell

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound short pasta, such as rigatoni, penne, farfalle or rotini
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons
4 ears sweet corn, kernels cut off (about 3 cups)
2 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated
12 to 15 squash blossoms, torn into 2-inch pieces
1/4 cup finely chopped basil, plus basil leaves for garnish
6 ounces feta, crumbled

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and liberally season with salt. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water.
  • While the pasta cooks, heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Heat the butter and olive oil until the butter melts. Add the zucchini and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the corn and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn has softened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and reduce the heat to low.
  • Add the pasta, squash blossoms and chopped basil to the skillet. Stir together, adding the reserved cooking water, if the mixture looks too dry. Add the feta and stir through. Taste for seasoning and add more salt or pepper, if needed.
  • Scoop into a large shallow bowl and garnish with basil leaves. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CRISPY ZUCCHINI OR PUMPKIN BLOSSOMS



Crispy Zucchini or Pumpkin Blossoms image

My Italian grandmother makes these every year when the zucchini in her garden start to blossom. She is Sicilian and calls them 'cripelli.' It's sort of like a fritter and so yummy. As an alternative, you could also chop up the blossoms and mix them up in the batter and drop by teaspoons into the hot oil.

2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons cold water

ZUCCHINI AND SQUASH BLOSSOM SOUFFLéS



Zucchini and Squash Blossom Soufflés image

These summery savory soufflés are an elegant step up from zucchini pancakes and make a great first course. Be sure to have your guests seated at the table before serving. The soufflés will rise nicely, but they do fall rather quickly. If you have a zucchini patch, you're all set for this recipe; otherwise get just-picked squash at the farmers market. It should have shiny smooth skin. Choose zucchini that is small but not tiny (so-called baby squash can be bitter).

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 small soufflés

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing ramekins
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk or half-and-half, more as needed
1 thyme sprig
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper
Pinch of cayenne
A little freshly grated nutmeg
2 pounds small fresh zucchini, coarsely grated, about 4 cups
4 large eggs, separated
1 small green serrano chile, finely chopped (optional)
4 ounces Emmentaler or Gruyère cheese, grated, or a mixture with 1/4-part Parmesan
1 tablespoon finely cut chives
2 tablespoons rough-chopped basil
6 to 8 squash blossoms, tough part removed, torn into 1/2-inch strips

Steps:

  • Butter ramekins well and set aside. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Make a thick béchamel sauce: Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Stir in flour and cook together over medium heat for a few minutes, without browning. Slowly add milk or half-and-half, stirring constantly with a wire whisk. Add thyme sprig and bay leaf and simmer over very low heat for 15 minutes, whisking occasionally, and adding a little more milk or half-and-half if the sauce gets too thick. Remove and discard thyme sprig and bay leaf. Season sauce well with salt and pepper, then add cayenne and nutmeg. Remove from stove and let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle grated zucchini with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and mix well. Put zucchini in a colander and let drain for 15 minutes. Working with one handful at a time, squeeze all excess liquid from zucchini. Discard liquid or use for another purpose (such as soup).
  • Pour egg yolks into béchamel sauce and beat until smooth. Add zucchini, chopped chile and grated cheese and mix well with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add a bit more salt and pepper, then add chives, basil and squash blossoms. Mix to distribute.
  • In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Stir 1/4 of the beaten whites into the zucchini mixture to lighten it, then carefully fold in remaining whites. Quickly spoon soufflé batter into ramekins. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Lower heat to 350 and rotate baking tray. Bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until tops are nicely browned and a small knife inserted emerges dry. Serve immediately.

FRIED STUFFED SQUASH BLOSSOMS



Fried Stuffed Squash Blossoms image

If you have a garden and you planted zucchini, you will have an abundance of squash blossoms. These are just amazing, with that tangy goat cheese filling and that batter: so simple, light, and crisp.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Squash     Zucchini

Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 fresh zucchini blossoms
¾ cup soft goat cheese at room temperature
1 egg yolk
¼ cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup self-rising flour
½ cup cornstarch
¼ cup ice-cold water, or as needed
vegetable oil for frying
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour, or as needed

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Prepare a large bowl of ice-cold water. Drop squash blossoms into the boiling water until slightly wilted, 30 to 45 seconds; transfer immediately into the cold water to chill. Remove to paper towels to drain.
  • Mix goat cheese, egg yolk, Gruyere cheese, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl; stir until smooth. Spoon filling into a heavy, resealable 1-quart plastic bag, squeeze out the air, and seal the bag. Cut a small corner off the bag.
  • Gently insert the cut corner of the bag all the way to the bottom of the open end of a blossom and pipe about 1 tablespoon of filling inside. Pick up petals and drape them up over the filling, covering filling completely. Fold any excess petals over the top of the filled blossom to keep them out of the way. Refrigerate filled squash blossoms until cheese is set and firm, at least 30 minutes.
  • Combine self-rising flour and cornstarch in a mixing bowl; whisk in ice-cold water, a little at a time, until batter is smooth and has the thickness of pancake batter.
  • Pour vegetable oil to a depth of 1 inch into a heavy skillet (such as a cast iron pan) and place over medium heat. Heat oil until a thermometer placed into the oil, not touching the bottom, reads 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). A drop of batter carefully dripped into the oil should sizzle immediately.
  • Remove squash blossoms from refrigerator and dust lightly with all-purpose flour on all sides. Shake off excess flour and dip blossoms in batter. Let excess batter drip off.
  • Gently lay coated squash blossoms in the hot oil on their sides; cook about 6 at a time until pale golden brown, 1 minute on the first side and 30 seconds to 1 minute on the remaining sides. Let cool slightly before serving.
