Stuffed Courgette Blossoms
Method
Enough for 8-10
1. Beat the cheeses, red pepper flakes, oregano, basil, garlic, salt and pepper until blended. Gently fill each blossom with about 2 teaspoons of the filling. Refrigerate while making the batter.
2. In a heavy skillet, heat 2 inches of oil over a medium heat.
3. While oil is heating, whisk together corn flour, flour, salt, pepper, celery salt, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, egg, and beer until
combined.
4. Carefully dip a stuffed blossom into the batter, covering the entire flower, and ease into the hot oil. Cooking only a few at a time so they are not crowded, brown each flower on one side then turn to brown the other. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining stuffed blossoms.
5. Garnish the stuffed blossoms with a sprinkling of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped chives, and serve immediately.
