Even though there are endless cooking possibilities with these farm treasures: stuffed with cheese, herbs or dipped in batter and fried, we also enjoy them as meatless balls.
This weekend, while my family searched for pumpkins, I searched for beautiful bright yellow flowers attached to the pumpkin and squash vines.
Ingredients
20 to 25 Pumpkin Flowers
2 large eggs
2 slices of crumbled day-old Italian bread
3 tablespoons of grated cheese
Salt & pepper
Vegetable oil for frying
Rinse each flower individually under cold water. Remove the stem and pull out the stamen. Dry them with paper towel and chop them.
In a bowl, add the chopped pumpkin flowers, 2 large eggs, the crumbled bread, cheese, salt & pepper.
Mix well and form into balls.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the flower balls.
Serve them warm or cold.
Enjoy!
