Fried Zucchini Flowers With Alici E Limone

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb	454g / 16oz	Golden creamer potatoes - peeled, and
		Cut into 1/2" cubes
12		Zucchini flowers
1		Egg
1/4 lb	113g / 4oz	Marinated anchovy fillets - rinsed, drained,
		And roughly chopped
2		Scallions - thinly sliced
6 tablespoons	90ml	Extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon	15ml	Freshly-squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon	15ml	Fresh thyme leaves
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1		Lemon - cut into wedges

Recipe Instructions

Boil potatoes in salted water for 10 minutes, until soft but not water-logged. Drain, allow to cool 10 minutes, and mash to a somewhat smooth consistency. Add the egg, anchovies, scallions, 4 tablespoons of the oil, lemon juice, thyme and salt and pepper, to taste.

Pick through open zucchini flowers to remove stamens and check for bugs. Using a small teaspoon, stuff each blossom with 2 teaspoons of the filling.

In a 10- to 12-inch non-stick saute pan, heat the remaining olive oil until smoking. Place 4 flowers into the pan at a time and cook until golden brown on both sides. Season with salt and pepper.

Arrange 3 blossoms on each of 4 warmed dinner plates and serve immediately, with bruschetta drizzled with best-quality extra-virgin olive oil, and lemon wedges.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
