Zucchini flowers with ricotta and anchovy
Ingredients
– 6 zucchini flowers
– 6 anchovy fillets
– 150g smooth ricotta
– 1 cup (150g) plain flour, plus extra for dusting
– 1 cup (200g) rice flour
– 330ml sparkling water
– Peanut oil, for frying
Method
1. Carefully remove the stamen from inside the zucchini flowers.
2. Season ricotta with salt. Gently open the petals up and spoon teaspoonfuls of ricotta into the flower. Top with an anchovy fillet and wrap the petals around to seal off the cheese.
3. Place zucchini on a plate and refrigerate until needed.
4. Whisk flours in a medium bowl and season with salt.
5. Whisk in water until a smooth batter.
6. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 160C.
7. Place some extra plain flour in a shallow bowl. In batches, dust zucchini in flour. Dip into batter, then gently lower into oil.
8. Cook for 1 ½ – 2 mins, until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack over a paper towel lined tray. Repeat with remaining flowers. Season and serve immediately

Good recipe but you trying get my killed by giving anchovies to my girl on valentines lol
Okay as someone who doesn’t have access to this in the stores, what do they even taste like? I wish you give us a taste breakdown ugh
As an American I've never heard of this. Very interesting indeed
Don't buy flowers for Valentine's. Pick them from the neighbours garden.
Son, you ain't getting any tonight
Italian proud:)
Babe's reaction missing
This looks so yummy
The whole video looks and sounds as if you had to film it secretly so that Babe doesn´t realize anything.
Thank you for this! Every year I see the flowers and wish I knew how to fry them.
holy jump cuts, Batman. Also, two songs in audio made brain melt. cool use for the flowers tho. They used to make us knock those off when I picked courgettes in Oz
