My friend & neighbor of 40 years Fofo gave me this easy recipe for a delicious & unique meze/appetizer. Zucchini blossoms must be picked early in the morning when they are fully open; by mid-morning, they will close tight. If you don't grow your own zucchini, you can try to find zucchini flowers at Farmer's market. Because you may not know when they were picked, it's best to plan to use them fresh, the day you bought them. I never make enough. Family & friends always want more") LOL Hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
