today i got inspired at the temescal farmer's market when i saw some beautiful squash blossoms at happy boy farms. i've always wanted to make stuffed squash blossoms, but just felt like they were too complicated and hard for me.so i just went for it and decided today was the day. the nice woman at the stand gave me the encouragement i needed. (it didn't hurt that the organic blossoms were 10 for $1.00!!)
i hopped over a few stalls and visited cowgirl creamery where i picked up some delicious fromage blanc to stuff them with.
the whole process was so simple. i washed the blossoms and allowed them to fully dry on a paper towel. then i stuffed each little blossom with about a spoonful of fromage blanc, while i heated some olive oil in a skillet (i didn't do a deep fry, but rather a pan fry). i prepared a batter using flour, water and seasalt.
i also roasted some padron peppers to go along with. these are my favorite summer find. simply delicious broiled with a lil olive oil and sea salt.
another happy boy find was the Piel de Sapos melon. mmm mmm mmm so sweet!!

Deepa,
Yum! Those squash blossoms look perfectly simple and delicious. I usually stuff the blossoms little creamy goat cheese and toss in some chopped herbs and lemon zest.
And Padrons are a favorite of mine too!
Okay, I am hungry now:)
