We visited Lenny Bruno Farms today in Manorville.

Fresh from the local farm stand… Zucchini Blossoms.

Zucchini Blossoms are quite perishable, and should be used the day they’re bought.

I decided to make some Fried Zucchini Blossoms and these are delicious. My family really enjoyed this side dish. There is nothing like fresh and local ingredients to make a recipe so much better.

Ingredients:

Zucchini Blossoms

Seasoned Breadcrumbs

2 Eggs

Vegetable Oil

Crushed Red Pepper

Directions:

First, heat a skillet with Vegetable Oil and add a teaspoon of crushed red pepper to the oil.

Wash the blossoms gently, pat them dry, and remove the pistils.

Lightly salt the zucchini blossoms.

Put 2 eggs lightly beaten in a glass bowl. and put your seasoned breadcrumbs on a plate.

Dredge the zucchini blossoms in the egg wash then into the breadcrumbs.

Fry the zucchini blossoms till they are golden brown. (This happens within 2 minutes.)

Drain on paper towel and serve hot.

 

From my Momee Kitchen to yours… Enjoy!
