Fiori di Zucca Fritti
Roman zucchini blossoms with mozzarella and anchovies in a plain flour-and-water batter.
About Fiori di Zucca Fritti
Giorgia Di Sabatino presents these fried zucchini blossoms as a classic Roman appetizer. The delicate flowers surround a filling of mozzarella and anchovies beneath a simple flour-and-water batter.
Mozzarella brings a soft dairy centre, while anchovies provide a concentrated savoury note. The mild blossom flavour remains part of the filling's contrast with the lightly salted exterior.
The finished blossoms have a crisp outer coating and a soft interior. Their elongated flower shape makes an individual appetizer, with the enclosed filling contained within the petals.
