Provided by beffymaroo

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 5-6 blossoms, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 -6 squash blossoms, washed with stamens removed
3 tablespoons cream cheese
1 strip cooked bacon, diced (get the good stuff- wood smoked!)
3 basil leaves, finely diced (large)
1 teaspoon finely diced onions or 1 teaspoon scallion
fresh ground pepper
salt
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Put the cream cheese in a bowl to soften for a few minutes before you start.
  • Combine basil, bacon, salt, pepper, onion, and cream cheese.
  • Spoon about 1 tsp or a little more of the cream cheese mixture into the blossoms, depending on their size.
  • Gently twist the ends of the petals together.
  • Combine flour and cornmeal, with a little salt if you like.
  • Whisk egg white into water thoroughly.
  • Dip each blossom into the egg white mixture, keeping petals twisted, then roll it in the flour/cornmeal.
  • Place filled blossoms in the fridge for 7-10 minutes.
  • Heat 1-2" oil in a sturdy pot, to about 350 degrees F.
  • Fry blossoms until golden brown, turning occasionally.

STUFFED SQUASH BLOSSOMS

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.)

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.

BASIL-STUFFED SQUASH BLOSSOMS



Basil-Stuffed Squash Blossoms image

Wrap basil around ricotta and bocconcini and tuck it all into delicate, fresh squash blossoms. Dip in egg and then in cornmeal, and fry as a first course teeming with tender seasonal goodness.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup fresh ricotta cheese
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
10 large fresh basil leaves
1 ounce bocconcini, cut into 10 pieces
10 squash blossoms
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup fine yellow cornmeal

Steps:

  • Put ricotta in a fine sieve set over a bowl. Let drain in refrigerator 3 hours or overnight. Discard liquid.
  • Season ricotta with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper; stir until smooth. Transfer to a large pastry bag fitted with a coupler. Pipe 1 tablespoon ricotta onto 1 basil leaf. Place a small piece of bocconcini on top of ricotta; pinch leaf closed. Carefully open 1 squash blossom; place stuffed basil leaf inside blossom. Press gently to seal. Repeat with remaining basil leaves and squash blossoms.
  • Heat about 3 inches oil in a medium heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until it registers 365 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Put eggs and cornmeal in separate small bowls. Dip 1 stuffed blossom into the eggs, then into the cornmeal to coat. Fry in batches of 2 to 3 until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels using a slotted spoon; let drain. Season with salt. Serve immediately.

SQUASH BLOSSOMS STUFFED WITH RICOTTA



Squash Blossoms Stuffed With Ricotta image

Talk about flower power. As every gardener knows, late summer brings a bumper crop of zucchini and, better yet, of zucchini blossoms-known in Italy as fiori di zucca. Here, the tender yellow-orange blooms are filled with ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and mint, then batter-fried. Served alongside an easy tomato sauce (dip as you like), they make an irresistible first course or, with the addition of a green salad, a satisfying main.

Yield Makes 4 (first course) or 2 (main course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

For tomato sauce:
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pound plum tomatoes, finely chopped
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
For squash blossoms:
1 cup whole-milk ricotta (preferably fresh)
1 large egg yolk
1/4 cup finely chopped mint
2/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, divided
12 to 16 large zucchini squash blossoms
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 cup chilled seltzer or club soda
About 3 cups vegetable oil for frying
Special Equipment
A deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Make tomato sauce:
  • Cook garlic and red pepper flakes in oil in a 2-quarts heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until garlic is golden, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, water, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Prepare squash blossoms:
  • Stir together ricotta, yolk, mint, 1/3 cup parmesan, and 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
  • Carefully open each blossom and fill with about 2 rounded teaspoon ricotta filling, gently twisting end of blossom to enclose filling. (You may have filling left over.)
  • Whisk together flour, remaining 1/3 cup parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and seltzer in a small bowl.
  • Heat 1/2 inch oil to 375°F in a 10-inch heavy skillet. Meanwhile, dip half of blossoms in batter to thinly coat. Fry coated blossoms, turning once, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes total. Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain. Coat and fry remaining blossoms. (Return oil to 375°F between batches.) Season with salt. Serve with tomato sauce.
