🌼🌼🌼 🌼🌼🌼A Quick Easy Recipe Your Whole Family Will Enjoy!!! 🌼🌼🌼 🌼🌼🌼

After reading Hive account@papa-pepper 's post about going to the farmers market and his mention of stuffed pumpkin flower fritters I decided to take myself to the farmers market and get myself some zucchini flowers and show everyone how I serve them up.

My family and I love pasta so I stuff my zucchini flowers with mozzarella, garlic, oregano, Italian parsley and some kind of tomato sauce, today I used pizza sauce in a convenient squirt bottle. Then I bake them until tender and brown the top on broil then serve on pasta.

Ingredients

Stuffed zucchini flowers so delicious!

My Mom's Russian Garlic (So Good!)

Italian Parsley

Real Oregano! Not the Mexican Thyme they try to pass off as Oregano

Grapeseed Oil and Pizza Sauce

Mozzarella

I used to treat the stuffing like it was sausage stuffing and mince everything and grate the cheese which made stuffing the flowers pretty hard so this time I decided to try a different way. Instead of mincing the garlic I slivered it, instead of grating the cheese I cut them into slim sticks the parsley I still minced.

Garlic Straight Slivered

I washed the flowers and chopped off the tip of the stem and placed the ends in water in the hopes of freshening them up a bit before stuffing and cooking.

When it came time to stuff the zucchini flowers this method of cutting the ingredients simplified things enormously. . I dusted the garlic with the oregano, oiled the pan and it's time for those yummy flowers to...

Get Stuffed!

I put one cheese stick down one side of the flower jam the garlic, parsley and oregano into the middle of the flower and put another down the opposite side and the squirt in some sauce.

At ten minutes prep and thirty minutes in the oven this is such an easy dinner to make. After dinner my daughter asked if I could make the sausage stuffed version of this recipe which she remembers with fondness. You can choose any kind of stuffing and I like what Hive account@papa-pepper does with pumpkin flowers, stuffing, battering and deep-frying into fritters.

I hoped you enjoyed my recipe!
