Fried Zucchini Blossoms


One farm was offering zucchini blossoms at Portland's Saturday market last week. Hopefully there will be more of these next week. The batter was made from chickpea flour, corn starch, baking soda, paprika, water and salt. I know most people like to stuff them with cheese before frying, but I really think that's just unnecessary. (Yes, I know I killed those eggs.)

Yum. I must have missed those. The market is getting awfully crowded isn't it?

It was the little organic farm at the far end of the market by King Middle School. They also sell a bunch of yarn and wool and stuff.


Yeah, it's getting to the point where you have to show up pretty early to have a chance of getting the cool things like those blossoms.

Oh, I'd love to try fried zucchini blossoms without the cheese.

Do they have them at the Wednesday market? I didn't see them ...

Hi again Brad,
I'm loving the Millenium cookbook. Fun looking through it. That book was meant to be mine. Thank you. Did you receive mine yet? Want to make sure.
