Fiori di zucca fritti · Rome
Zucchini blossoms stuffed with mozzarella and a fillet of anchovy, dipped in a cold beer batter and deep-fried until shatter-crisp. The summer Roman antipasto.
Fried zucchini blossoms have been on Roman trattoria menus since at least the 1920s, when the flower-and-anchovy combination became standard at the Ghetto Jewish kitchens that also produced carciofi alla giudia. The dish remains seasonal: the male blossoms of the marrow plant appear at Roman markets from late May through August, sold fresh-picked on the same day.
