for
4
- For the batter
- 200 grams Pastry flour
- ¼ l dry white wine (or milk)
- 2 Tbsps olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 egg whites
- For the zucchini blossoms
- 12 Zucchini flower
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 Tbsps freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 egg

- 1 Tbsp freshly chopped thyme
- 400 grams Ricotta cheese
- salt
- freshly ground peppers

Preparation steps
1.
Separate the eggs. Whisk together the flour, white wine, oil, salt and egg yolks until smooth. Let stand for about 10 minutes. Whip the egg whites until stiff then fold into the batter.
2.
Rinse the zucchini blossoms gently and pat dry. Carefully remove the pistils and stamens. Peel the garlic and chop finely. Combine the garlic, Parmesan, egg, breadcrumbs, thyme and ricotta. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the filling to a piping bag and use to fill the zucchini blossoms, gently twisting the ends together to enclose the filling. Working in batches, dip the blossoms in the batter and deep-fry 3-4 minutes in hot oil. Drain on paper towels and serve.
