After reading @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.
Squirt in the Sauce
Arrange in the pan
Cover with some extra sauce and cheese
Bake at 450 faranheit for 30 minutes
Some delicious beet leaves and butter for a side
Remove and serve over pasta

I'm salivating after that series of photos. I absolutely love new young courgettes. Normally go the frittered route so interesting to see them get baked. You say you normally make like a minced up sort of sausage mince of the mixture but you did it different this time. Which way would you do it the next time, did it make a difference??
I made the cheese into sticks and slivered the garlic and it was way easier to to stuff the flowers(courgettes? I thought that was a technical term for the kind of flower but I see its a name for zucchini, strange I've never heard it before)
Seems like you lack a training in the nuances of British English. We also prefer aubergines over eggplants. Maize not corn. Mangetout not snow peas. We prefer chips to french fries and have biscuits instead of cookies, and jelly babies instead of jelly beans
If you leave the house wearing just your pants you'll get some strange looks. Better put your trousers on first. If you don't mention about fannies we'll return the courtesy and won't go asking you for a rubber in the middle of the office.
I am somewhat familiar with these foreign perversities, Aluminium? Waving your torches around? Wellingtons instead of gumboots, Thankfully we have no equivalent to spotted dick. Mangetout is a new one. Do you at least rhyme Z with ned?
"Mangetout Rodney, mangetout" (Del Boy, Only Fools and Horses)
I sometimes in a fit of disorientation rhymne Z with Ned, but normally only when I want to make a cultural reference to Tarantinos Pup Fiction, Zed's dead.
At least if we'rewriting about tomatoes and potatoes it seems the same. Although the latter is more of a spud in my books.
You rhyme Z with ๐,
how could this ๐?
I use spud, I was once giving the gears to an englishman(fi, fi, fo, fum) for his improper pronunciation of drawring, when he crushed my linguistic superiority complex by pointing out i say boddle.
Did he also say "somethink"?
In the northwest of Ireland instead of movies we say "fill-im" (film)
Maybe more like somefink, he was a southern twat(south of england).
We say film. A first nations person told me how in school he was always being punished for saying "innit" because its not proper english, while the all the english people he met when he grew up never stop saying it.
I would like your opinion of a tongue in cheeky article I wrote,
