My tempura of courgette blossoms
Ingredients
- 4 courgette blossoms
- 4 baby courgettes
- 100 gr flour
- 100 ml iced water or sparkling water
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Gentle open the flower and remove the stamens or pistils and discard. Rinse delicately with water and check for dirt or bugs.
- in small bowl mix half of the flour with a little splash of water, mix with the chop sticks. Just add a little bit of water and mix, the consistency you are looking for is a thick sauce versus a runny liquid.
- Heat the peanut or vegetable oil. Dip the flowers into the batter and deep fry. I also pour a little of batter on top of the flower when dipped in the oil. Turn with chop sticks and cook for a few seconds.
- Remove from oil and let drain on kitchen towel. Sprinkle with some fleur de sel and serve. use the same method for the baby courgettes sliced lengthwise into fries.
