crafty_packratThe recipe is from Purple Citrus and Sweet Perfume, and it's supposed to make 12 stuffed zucchini blossoms.
I had squash blossoms, and a whole lot more stuffing than blossoms, so the extra stuffing mix went into the freezer. i wonder if zucchini blossoms are noticeably bigger than the local squash blossoms?
But they were tasty and crispy!
8 oz of crab meat
4 oz of chopped cooked shrimp
2 Tbsp of oregano
1 c ricotta
3 Tbsp grated romano
That was a LOT of stuffing, but hopefully I can get more blossoms on Saturday -- I'll look for big blossoms, now that I know what to look for -- and maybe stuff them ahead of time and freeze them. I'm still not very good at frying things, but eventually I'll figure it out.
I'm also going to try stuffing blossoms with different mixtures -- crab and shrimp is okay, but I think they'd be just as good with just cheese and herbs.
