Consume Me

These are very simple, yet they look and taste stunning. Zucchini flowers are available during summer, and make a lovely entrée, or the focal point of a main course. I like using the female zucchini flowers, since they have the cute little zucchinis attached. They're also a little more robust than the male ones, so they're harder to tear in the stuffing process. Most recipes suggest battering them then deep frying. We try to avoid wheat at home, though, and I firmly refuse to deep fry anything (large amounts of hot fat terrifies me, quite apart from the health issues).
