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.

“There was a time, usually late in August, when summer struck the trees with dazzling power and they were rich with leaves but then became, suddenly one day, strangely still, as if in expectation and at that moment aware. They knew. Everything knew, the beetles, the frogs, the crows solemnly walking across the lawn. The sun was at its zenith and embraced the world, but it was ending, all that one loved was at risk.” ~ James #Salter // #sunset #sunsetphotography #athomeonmaui #mauihawaii #maui
