From Italian Food
Safari, Maeve O’Meara with Guy Grossi, Hardie Grant Books, 2010.
Walking through the local markets I spotted zucchini flowers
for sale on one of the stalls. I knew I had a recipe for them and had
wanted to try them so I was able to please the stall holder by purchasing some.
The recipe in the book was supplied by Lina Siciliano and it
is basically a very easy dish to prepare. Three flours (plain, SR and
cornflour) were mixed together and turned into a paste with water. This was
seasoned and chopped parsley was added.
It was then the turn of the zucchini flowers. They were
washed, sliced and added to the mixture. Tablespoons of this were then fried.
All very simple to prepare.
Possibly I had not done very well with the cooking for these
turned out to be rather ordinary. The flavour of the flowers was possibly very
subtle for I missed it. I think next time I see zucchini flowers I might try to
use a stuffed flower recipe and see if this changes my mind about them.
