Saffron and Honey

Stuffed zucchini flowers with kimchi mayo

A perfect late summer alfresco bite – these delicate zucchini flowers really blossom (pun intended) with a savory ricotta filling and a powerful punch of kimchi mayo. Crispy and subtly sweet, the stuffed zucchini flowers take on the heat of the sauce and run with it.

I used Lucky Foods Kimchi Mayo – a family recipe! – and it added so much more flavor here than something like a traditional aioli.

The stuffing is an easy mix of fresh ricotta, lemon zest, and everything bagel seasoning.

Use your favorite oil with a high burn point to pan fry the zucchini flowers – it should only take a few minutes on each side – and serve hot, hot, hot!

A perfect late summer alfresco bite - these delicate zucchini flowers really blossom (pun intended) with a savory ricotta filling and a powerful punch of kimchi mayo.
Ingredients
  • 6-8 zucchini flowers, depending on size (go for the bigger ones!)
  • 6 tablespoons ricotta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
  • 0.5 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kimchi mayo
  • good frying oil
Instructions
  1. Wash the zucchini flowers well and open them up gently to dry on a kitchen towel.
  2. In a small bowl, gently mix the ricotta, lemon zest, and the seasoning.
  3. Fill each zucchini flower with about one tablespoon of filling, then "seal" it back up.
  4. Fill a deep, heavy pan with about a quarter of an inch high amount of your favorite frying oil (I used avocado) and bring to a a sizzle.
  5. Pan fry the stuffed zucchini flowers for about 3 minutes on each side. They should be light and crispy.
  6. Drizzle and/or dip into the kimchi mayo.

the perfect winter dish does exist and it’s fried potatoes with onions and chanterelles // this has always been one of my favorite comfort foods. Chanterelles are a seasonal treat that I try to enjoy whenever I can. // there is no “secret,” you just need to chop everything evenly and use lots of 🧈 (I start with a combination of olive oil and butter and then add more butter as it goes along). // #chanterelles #potatoes #potatoeswithchanterelles #friedpotatoes #saffronandhoney #comfortfood

Let’s be honest, I’ve loved peppermint ☕️ ever since I saw it on @gilmoregirls a very long time ago. @swissmissbrand + coffee make a perfect holiday peppermint mocha. Go gentle on the peppermint extract and it’s always a good idea to add a small candy cane to the mix. Stir it in or let it melt, your choice. Don’t forget the marshmallows, of course! @getkale // #swissmiss #kalepartner #swissmisshotcocoa #pepperminthotchocolate #peppermintmocha #pepperminteverything

There is still time to get your free Turkey 🦃 from @foodlandhi with 500 Maika’i points! And then you can get cooking - I am making a spatchcock turkey so that it’s extra crispy, with such an aromatic and flavorful accompaniment (that becomes the sauce). There are purple grapes, blackberries, fennel, onions, juniper berries, bay leaves and a splash of red wine… it smells amazing and tastes even more amazing. Happy Thanksgiving from me and @foodlandhi! // #thanksgiving #foodlandhi #foodlandambassador #spatchcokturkey

the @nutrimill Black Friday sale is live! Linked directly here https://shrsl.com/42wel and in my profile 👩🏻‍🍳 // these bundle deals are an amazing way to buy some of those pricey kitchen hero items, just in time for the holidays // you can’t stack my code KSENIA on the Black Friday deals, but remember you can always use it outside of sale time on individual items or bundles for $20 off. And right now you can still use it on attachments over $45! I think 🤔 I need to get a stainless steel bowl for my Artiste, actually!
