I’ve always made stuffed squash blossoms, using blossoms fresh from the garden, but stuffed just with cheese. The addition of anchovies & capers is a great idea!

Be extra careful when using fresh from the garden blossoms. I came in with a bunch one day, gave them a quick rinse, and heard a buzzing. One blossom had a very damp & very angry bee inside.

As an appetizer, I usually pair these with stuffed Jalapeño peppers too. Roast peppers & remove the skin; slit & remove seeds; then treat like the squash blossoms.

I think I did something wrong — like not letting it rest on the paper towels long enough or not putting enough batter…the oil seemed hot enough. Will definitely try again because I liked it! We put the leftover flowers in our pinakbet and it was great there too…

It made me realize I could have planted squash last summer for these heavenly flowers which I love cooked (boiled) with fried fish and lima beans as dinengdeng!

was when we had a great dinner at Biot, South of France.
With ciccada singing, lavenders in full bloom, french way
of preparing the courgette was the icing of the cake!
