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

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

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
