Fried Squash Blossoms - Fiori di zucca fritti


Although other regions in Italy stuff zucchini flowers with ricotta or cured meat, Roman and Le Marche-style fiori di zucca are always made with a lone anchovy and a small bit of mozzarella. Once filled, they get dipped in a yeasty batter and fried -preferably in vegetable or light (not extra virgin) olive oil.

Ingredients:

  • 10-15 zucchini flowers
  • 2-3 eggs
  • 1 cup flour
  • 4 tablespoons of beer
  • Vegetable oil sufficient for frying
  • 1 fresh mozzarella ball sliced into thin strips
  • Anchovy fillets (or none if you don’t like the taste)
