A few weeks ago I signed myself up to take part in a fitness challenge in the hopes of developing a long lasting love for athleticism that will nearly match my love of food... you know to balance things out.
The challenge hasn't started yet, but I decided I should start watching what I eat anyway... then I went to Gowings (twice), and ate hot chips for 6 meals in one week (note I said for not with). To add to this snowballing disaster I am also studying for exams... and we know what that means. Although I have nearly completed all my Christmas shopping without leaving my desk I am aaaalways hungry!
Last night after a pretty pathetic "day" of study, I decided to wallow in self pity and fry me up something tasty!
To make these takes I'd estimate about 15-20 minutes, with prep, cooking and some cleaning time included. Gather your ingredients and go to town.
- Roughly chop about 50 g of fetta.
- Mix it in a bowl with two generously heaped tablespoons of mascarpone and a handful of roughly chopped parsley
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Open up the zucchini flowers as delicately as possible and stuff in the mixtures (I found using my hands was the most efficient, and messiest) - you only need a small teaspoon of filling in each flower leaving a little room at the top to twist the flower close.
- In a separate bowl make a tempura batter, which I found by googling, all the recipes are pretty much the same and call for 1/2 cup corn flower, 1/2 cup plain flour, whisked egg, and a cup of chilled soda water, mix the soda water and egg together before adding the dry ingredients - I also grated some Parmesan cheese into the mixture.
- Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep fry pan, please not I pan fried not deep fried but the choice is yours - also I would consider baking but I'll have to try it out first and report back to you.
- Dip and fry! Yummy, yummy, yummy
Happy eating! xx
Secret admission: my soda water was not chilled... naughty me.
