Zucchini Flowers are in Bloom

The first crop of zucchini flowers have begun to open up in the garden.

For a recap of how we cooked these last year, check out our post: http://cephood.blogspot.com/2008/08/fiori-di-zucca-fritti-fried-zucchini.html

Although these blooms don't have a little fruit connected to it, you can still fry them up with some cheese stuffing all the same.

Actually, I prefer to deep fry these blooms because they have the stems, which make perfect handles for dipping them in and out of the oil without breaking the stuffed bloom.
