Deep-fried Courgette Flower

This weekend I visited Smorgasburg in Brooklyn NY and tasted this incredible dish of deep fried courgette flower that was stuffed with Ricotta and herbs. I have never heard or seen anything like this before, I’ve had heard of eating flowers but it was never something that appealed to me. There was a difference in texture from the outside to the inside, in the outside it was crispy and salty from the breading while in the inside it was soft and slightly mushy. You were able to taste the tangy creamy and silky flavor of the ricotta while also tasting the earthy and piney taste of the herbs. The texture of the flower was slightly mushy and chewy, I honestly felt that the flower didn’t have no distinguish taste. I didn’t really like that taste of the dish, not only was the texture difference something that didn’t appeal to me but the flavor combination didn’t work for me. I also felt that the dish was salty form both the ricotta herb combination and the crispy breading from the outside.
