Steps:
- mix all the ingredients together and place in small pastry bag, or a ziplock bag with an end snipped off.
- open one end of the blossom gently and squeeze a small amount of cheese into the blossom. Due not overfill, you want enough to almost fill the blossom not to make it bulge.
- Refrigerate the blossoms for about 10-15 minutes while you get the egg mixture together.
- Lightly beat the eggs and add in milk, flour, cheese, and basil. Mix well. Egg Mixture should be about pancake mix thickness. If the mix is too thick the egg coating will be to thick and if its too thin it will run off.
- Heat a large sauté pan and then add about 1/4 inch of cooking oil to the pan.
- Dredge Zucchini Blossom in egg mixture, shed any excess egg and place into hot oil, continue the process till you fill the pan.
- Fry each side of the Blossom until golden brown, about two minutes on each side, the second side may cook faster, keep an eye on them.
- Place finished blossom on paper towels to drain off any excess oil.
- Place blossoms on serving tray and season with grated Romano cheese, sea salt and black pepper.

Steps:
- Wash the flowers and dry them with a kitchen towel very carefully. Remove the pistil with the tip of the kitchen Scissors.
- Heat 1 Tablespoon of oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat, add the onion and pepper, and sauté for one or two minutes, only until the onion looks transparent.
- Add the onion and pepper mixture to a bowl with the ricotta cheese and chopped parsley. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
- Stuff the flowers very carefully with the help of a small spoon. The already filled flowers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before frying.
- To prepare the batter, mix in a bowl, one large egg, 1/3 cup of flour, ¼ cup of clear beer. (If you do not have a beer, use milk and a 1/3-teaspoon of baking powder.) Mix everything well.
- Heat the oil to medium-low temperature since the flowers are very delicate.
- As soon as the oil is hot, grab each flower from its stem and submerge in the batter mixture to cover completely, next step place the flower in the oil, and repeat this process with the other flowers trying not to pile them in the pan.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat. Heat about 4 inches of oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over direct heat until it reaches 350 degrees F.
- Combine the ricotta, parsley and lemon zest in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place a tablespoon of the filling into each zucchini blossom, sealing them by bringing the petals up around the filling and giving them a little twist.
- Season the flour with salt and pepper, then dredge the blossoms first in the flour, then in the eggs and then again in the flour, being sure to shake off any excess flour.
- Working in batches if needed, carefully drop the blossoms into the oil. (Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.) Cook until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the blossoms to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and season lightly with sea salt. Serve immediately.
- (Alternatively, you can fry the blossoms over medium-high heat on a stovetop.)
SQUASH BLOSSOMS STUFFED WITH RICOTTA
Talk about flower power. As every gardener knows, late summer brings a bumper crop of zucchini and, better yet, of zucchini blossoms-known in Italy as fiori di zucca. Here, the tender yellow-orange blooms are filled with ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and mint, then batter-fried. Served alongside an easy tomato sauce (dip as you like), they make an irresistible first course or, with the addition of a green salad, a satisfying main.

- 4) Heat up a large skillet with about 1/2 inch of canola or vegetable oil (or any high-heat oil you like). While the oil is heating up, make the coating.
