Zucchini flowers filled with herbs and goat's curd

Serves 16



200 gm   goat’s curd
2 tbsp   chopped herbs, such as flat-leaf parsley, chives and chervil
3   anchovy fillets, finely chopped
16   zucchini flowers, pistils removed
75 gm (½ cup)   plain flour
2   eggs, lightly beaten
210 gm (3 cups)   fresh breadcrumbs, toasted in oven until golden
60 ml (¼ cup)   olive oil
60 gm   unsalted butter, coarsely chopped
To serve:   lemon wedges


1 Combine goat’s curd, herbs and anchovy fillets in a bowl and season to taste with freshly ground black pepper. Place a heaped teaspoon of goat’s curd mixture in each zucchini flower, twisting tips of petals to seal.
2 Dip each flower in flour, shake to remove excess, dip in egg, then coat in breadcrumbs.
3 Combine oil and butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat and, when butter has melted and oil is hot, shallow-fry flowers in batches, turning occasionally, for 3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper and serve with lemon wedges.
