Recipe For Stuffed Pumpkin Flower Dish
Ingredients:
10-12 pumpkin flowers
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1 cup breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
Gently wash the pumpkin flowers and remove the pistil from inside each flower. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, chopped parsley, salt and pepper.
Using a spoon, carefully fill each pumpkin flower with the cheese mixture.
In three separate bowls, set up a dredging station. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. In the third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
Dip each stuffed pumpkin flower first in the flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the breadcrumbs, making sure to coat evenly.
Heat enough vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Carefully place the coated pumpkin flowers into the hot oil, and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Remove the pumpkin flowers from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Serve the stuffed pumpkin flowers hot, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.
Enjoy your delicious stuffed pumpkin flower dish!
