Zucchini blossoms rock my socks off.

Heck I hate zucchini in general but have planted them for the sole purpose of getting blossoms. Now thankfully mom plants them so if I wanted them I could just steal from her.

I keep making stuffed jalapenos that I smoke and now you got me thinking I should be adding lime zest into my cheese mixture. Damn why did I never think about that????????

mmmmm this looks delicious! i’ve tried zucchini flowers once before. they were coated in a tempura batter like yours, filled with hot melted gorgonzola, dashed with smoked paprika and drizzled with orange blossom honey.. *

I also baked zucchini blossoms first time this year. Lovely learnt in Tuscany. Your version is yummy, will try next time/ year. I am lucky this year to be able to pick the flowers from my neighbour’s veg garden. It’s really a great snack, perfect with sake in your way or Prosecco.

I can only imagine how zucchini blossoms would taste like because sadly, we don’t get them here! Funnily, because we do get zucchini. Guess it’s because it’s a “foreign” ingredients for most Indians to work with. Peekytoe is so cute!
