Zucchini flowers to die for!

It is November, Christmas is coming, and I dream of the Summer and its delicacies!

The whole secret is to have the super freshest of zucchini, cut from the vegetable garden a split second ago!

Time is important, in case you have not noticed, not only in what we do, but also in how we prepare our food.

I stuff the flowers with a soft white cheese mix. I use myzithra from Crete, add salt and pepper and some chopped coriander and mint.

Fresh ricotta would also have been perfect for the dish.

After stuffing the flowers I dip them in water and dust them with flour before dipping into the batter mix.

The batter has to be full of bubbles! A bubbly batter does it! Stir vigorously until you have the bubbles that will give lightness to the batter.

I slice them in two halves with a knife, and subsequently eat them with my hands. Totally different sensation.

  1. το batter mix πώς το κανεις?

    πρωτα στο νερό, μετά αλευρι και μετά βύθισμα στο batter mix?

    δεν το καταλαβαίνω

    η γεμιση με τη μυζηθρα και τα παρελκόμενα με ενθουσιάζει
