VEGAN ZUCCHINI FLOWERS

WITH ROSÉ INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS 1. Make the filling by breaking the tofu into chunks and popping it into a blender or food processor, along with the nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon of salt, crushed garlic, lemon juice, lemon rind, olive oil and soy milk. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally. Remove and fold through the finely chopped mint.

Filling 300g firm tofu 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast • 1 teaspoon salt 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon lemon rind 1 tablespoon olive oil 4 tablespoons soy milk Handful of fresh mint, finely chopped Batter 3/4 cup plain flour 1 teaspoon salt 220mL chilled soda water Other Stuff 12 zucchini flowers, stamen removed • Oil for deep frying Salt • Lemon wedges Extra mint to serve

RECIPE BY @LIKEAVEGAN

2. Roll about 1 tablespoon of filling into a little log and gently place it inside the zucchini flower before carefully pressing the petals of the flower to seal in the filling.

Repeat with the remaining zucchini flowers and set aside.

3. Make your batter by adding the flour and 1 teaspoon of salt to a medium-sized bowl and whisking in the chilled soda water until creamy. You want a fairly runny batter and a few lumps are fine.

4. Heat your oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat. I always like to test with a little bit of rolled up filling to check the oil is nice and hot.

5. Using a pastry brush, coat the skewers in the chimichurri. If you're planning to cook them later, it's best to do this ahead of time to give the flavours extra time to sink in!

6. One at a time, dip your zucchini flowers into the batter, removing any excess, before popping them into the oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.

7. Once golden, allow to drain on paper towel while you cook the rest of your zucchini flowers.

8. Serve immediately with salt, extra mint, lemon wedges and a nice cold glass of Hello!

Rosé!
