Stuffed courgette flower
I was so excited to see the first fully-bloomed courgette flower on my little plant that I had to pick it straight away! I made a quick, simple batter with cold beer and flour, removed the stamen from the flower and filled with crumbled feta, dunked into the batter and shallow-fried all over. For a speedy prototype it tasted very good, though I didn’t get much flavour from the flower itself. Next time I’ll use thinner batter and a more mild cheese, like ricotta.
