Add a photoZuucchini flowers have been a long-time favourite of people living around the Mediterranean Sea, especailly in Italy and French Provence.
The Japanese has recently grown fond of not only zucchini, but laso their flowers and are growing them with a revenge!
It is little wonder they come up with their own, if much simpler, version of zucchini flower fritters!
Ингредиенты

- Prawns/shrimps: 6 (medium-sized)
- Mozzarella Cheese (they make it in Jpaan, now! And that from real water buffaloes!): 1
- Onion: 3 tablespoons (very finely chopped)

Инструкции

stuffing these is a great idea, usually i just batter them. I'll have to try it this way.
