Tempura Fried Squash Blossoms

Method

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chevre Filling

    In a bowl, mix Lively Run chevre with finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, and fresh basil until well combined. Season with salt to taste.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Squash Blossoms

    Gently open each squash blossom and fill with the chevre mixture, being careful not to tear the petals. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Tempura Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and cold sparkling water until smooth. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable. Add salt to taste.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Squash Blossoms

    Dip each stuffed squash blossom in the tempura batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place in hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and garnish with fresh basil before serving. Enjoy your Tempura Fried Squash Blossoms!
