How to prepare the vegan stuffed zucchini flowers recipe

  1. First wash the courgette flowers well under cold water then let them dry on kitchen paper, dabbing them gently.
  2. In a mixer, combine all the ingredients for the filling: the tofu, dried tomatoes, olives, capers, a pinch of oregano, salt and oil. Blend until you get a smooth and homogeneous cream .
  3. At this point , stuff the courgette flowers . You can transfer everything into a pastry bag with a smooth nozzle or help yourself with a teaspoon. The important thing is to fill them well, leaving only a little void near the tip of the petals. In fact, this will be turned slightly on itself to close the flower.
  4. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, drizzle them with a drizzle of oil and cook at 180°C for 15 minutes. Serve them hot.

To prepare vegan stuffed and fried zucchini flowers instead you will have to prepare a batter by mixing 200 g of rice flour and 300 ml of water . Season with salt and then dip the courgette flowers one at a time. As they are covered in batter, dip them in plenty of seed oil and fry them until they are golden brown. Drain them with a slotted spoon and pass them on absorbent paper before serving.
