Fiori di Zucca Ripieni di Ricotta e Acciughe Romani
Lazio — Rome, summer street food tradition
Zucchini flowers stuffed with a mixture of fresh cow's milk ricotta, a salted anchovy fillet, and fresh mozzarella, then battered in a light beer batter and deep-fried until the batter is golden and shatteringly crisp. The anchovy dissolves into the ricotta during frying, providing salt and umami without an identifiable fish flavour. The mozzarella melts into the ricotta for a molten, creamy interior. This is one of Rome's great street foods — the contrast of hot, crisp batter, liquid interior, and the floral note of the zucchini flower defines the Roman summer.
