Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 16

18 zucchini, acorn squash or pumpkin blossoms, stamen removed
CHEESE FILLING:
3 oz each of ricota and cream cheeses (or 6 oz of one)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp italian seasoning
1 clove garlic, minced
BEER BATTER:
1 egg
1/2 c cold flat beer
1/2 c flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp each of celery salt and pepper
1/8 c corn starch
DRESSING THE BLOSSOMS
grated parmesan cheese
powdered sugar and honey to drizzle over

Steps:

  • 1. Gently swish the squash blossoms in cold water to clean. Carefully twirl to remove most of the water, then drain thoroughly on paper towels. Set aside. Beat ricotta, cream cheese, red pepper flakes, oregano, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper until blended. Gently fill each blossom with about 2 teaspoons of the cheese filling. Refrigerate while making batter. In a heavy skillet, heat 2 inches of oil to 375 F over medium heat. While oil is heating, whisk together cornstarch, flour, salt, pepper, celery salt, baking soda, baking powder, egg, and beer until combined. Carefully dip a stuffed blossom into the batter, covering the entire flower, and ease into the hot oil. Brown on one side, then turn to brown the other. Cook only a few at a time so they are not crowded. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining stuffed squash blossoms. Sprinkle stuffed squash blossoms with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese or dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with honey.

I love the idea of stuffed squash blossoms, but this recipe didn't work out for me. The filling was too dry and the blossoms were tough.
