Farm Fresh and Healthy

Tis the season for farm fresh produce at your local farm stands. Courtesy of Margaret, from our inner office, I am sharing with you a light and healthy lunch. Who would ever think about stuffing zucchini blossoms?   Well here you go.

  • Stuff zucchini blossoms with a small amount of ricotta cheese and a small piece of mozzarella cheese.  (Optional:  add an anchovy to the stuffing)
  • Dip in pancake flour, then a beaten egg, and finally roll in Italian seasoned bread crumbs.
  • Fry in extra virgin olive oil.  Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve with a beautifully ripened sliced tomato topped with fresh basil.  
 What could be better? How about a glass of pinot grigio for you white wine lovers or a glass of montepulciano for you red wine lovers? Both can be chilled to the perfect temperature using the SubZero wine storage system featuring dual temperature controls.

Enjoy!

Until tomorrow – Happy cooking!
