Gentle Tiger Acupuncture

Hello Gentle Tiger-ites! I was talking about my backyard planter boxes for the lovely and luscious zucchinis that we grow every year and I was asked how to prepare zucchini flowers. Wellllll, I didn’t have enough space in those little boxes Facebook provides, so I decided to plant the recipe RIGHT HERE! (If you’d like to follow Gentle Tiger Acupuncture on Facebook, we’d appreciate it and its fun – just click on the “Gentle Tiger Acupuncture LLC on Facebook” link located  to your right on this page (under the Ratepoint “Check Out our Reputation”  badge)’ The link will take you to Facebook -  log in and then click “become a fan” on the Gentle Tiger Facebook page – EASY.)

• The first step, of course, is getting the zucchini flowers. Once gathered, keep them in your refrigerator (crisper section) until ready to be used.
• When ready, wash them gently, pat them dry and remove the pistils.
To make fried zucchini blossoms you’ll need:
• 18 zucchini blossoms
• A pint (16 oz/500 ml) whole milk, or a mixture of beer and milk
• 3 heaping tablespoons flour
• An egg, lightly beaten
• Salt
• Coconut oil or lard, for frying (If you don’t have either, grapeseed oil is alright, too.)
1. Prepare the batter by combining the milk (and beer), flour and egg.

2. Heat the coconut oil.

3. Lightly salt the zucchini blossoms, dredge them in the batter, fry them until golden, drain them on absorbent paper, and serve them hot.

They’re DELICIOUS!
