Have you tried the flowers cooked in batter?

Our plants are just beginning to produce little courgettes now and they are lovely sliced and fried in butter.

Cammomile a Italian lady I knew used to make omelets with the flowers (cut and laid flat) 3 or 4 would easily fill the frying pan ... and very tasty with some paramasan grated over the top

Gg

Sounds yummy Gnarly.

I did fry them in batter one year Cam .after watching Jamie Oliver doing it very nice too ... Gg that sounds good I love omelets and Parmesan one for me to try me thinks ... enjoy them while you can Linda we have such short seasons for our own home grown delicious veg ...

Amy & Cam

I have lots of flowers , so I will make one for tea

Gg

What times tea Paul ????? Lol ...

Amy are you inviting Paul as well lol

Gg

Oh No Andy ,sorry ,Only me , I suppose I've missed tea now ;o( .... What were they like ?

I just bought a couple, partly to eat and partly to see if I can save the seeds to have a go at growing my own.

Though the only recipe I can find for them is stuffed with mince; I'll have to look up frying them

Amy

it was yummy lol give it a go , snap the flower off then use scissors to cut to the center then unfold , once you have the omelet in the pan just lay the flowers on top

Gg

I bet it looked amazing and so colourful ,I will try it Andy ...

I have courgette envy now.......I do love homegrown ones..

Andy I'll make it tomorrow I have some new potatoes left over from dinner I'll make a Spanish Omelet ... I have some Parmesan in the fridge ....
If you lived nearer I would give you some Angela .. x

What do the flowers taste like, sounds intriguing.

You can also make courgette cake :)

Andy I made a Spanish Omelet yesterday with the flowers of the courgette as you said on top dredged with Parmesan and then popped under the grill , delicious ,the taste is difficult to describe Mari I thought rather like spring cabbage ... Gg may well have a different 'taste ' .. That sounds interesting Pamela I expect it keeps the cake moist ...I might look that up :o)

Amy. glad you enjoyed it ...

its difficult to describe as the cheese masks the flavor of the flower but all adds to the deliciousness lol
