Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Neutral oil like canola, for frying
1 cup whole-milk ricotta
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Zest of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 zucchini blossoms
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
Sea salt, for seasoning

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat. Heat about 4 inches of oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over direct heat until it reaches 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the ricotta, parsley and lemon zest in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place a tablespoon of the filling into each zucchini blossom, sealing them by bringing the petals up around the filling and giving them a little twist.
  • Season the flour with salt and pepper, then dredge the blossoms first in the flour, then in the eggs and then again in the flour, being sure to shake off any excess flour.
  • Working in batches if needed, carefully drop the blossoms into the oil. (Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.) Cook until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove the blossoms to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and season lightly with sea salt. Serve immediately.
  • (Alternatively, you can fry the blossoms over medium-high heat on a stovetop.)

These were absolutely delicious! I made them for my family and they raved about them. The filling was perfect and the blossoms were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making these again and again.

I was really disappointed with these. The filling was bland and the blossoms were tough. I think I will stick to making zucchini blossoms next time.

These were good, but not great. I found the filling to be a little too salty. I think next time I will reduce the amount of salt I add.

I was really excited to try these, but I was disappointed. The filling was too mushy and the blossoms were tough. I think I will stick to making zucchini blossoms next time.

These were good, but not great. I found the filling to be a little bland. I think next time I will add some more herbs and spices.

I've made these twice now and they are always a hit. The first time I made them, I used zucchini blossoms, but the second time I used squash blossoms and they were even better. The squash blossoms are a little more delicate, so be careful when you ar
