Stuffed Squash Blossoms

by Nanny Bubby

I had never prepared or even eaten Zucchini Blossoms before. I love that MY cooking confidence coach came to my rescue and said let's do it together. We created this recipe from a combined experience of tastes and experience! It is always such a joy for me to cook with her. I hope you enjoy it too! And Remember, "Spread Love Like Butter"

Total Time:

45 minutes

Serves:

7

Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 1 c. ricotta
  • 1/2 anchovy fillet
  • 1 tsp. dried and crumbled oregano
  • 1 tsp. grated lemon zest
  • 1 tsp. Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper

For the zucchini Blossoms

  • Blood Orange Olive oil for frying
  • 1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 12 oz. chilled club soda or perrier
  • Zucchini blossoms stamens removed; about 12-16
  • Sea Salt

Directions

  • To fill about 16, combine ricotta, oregano, and lemon zest in a bowl. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Using a spoon, fill each blossom with about 1 tbs. ricotta mixture.
  • In a large pot, heat about 2'' oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 360°-375°.
  • Combine flour and salt in a medium bowl, then whisk in club soda until almost smooth (some small lumps are welcome-don't overwhisk or you'll deflate the batter).
  • One by one, dredge the blossoms in batter, shaking of the excess; gently lay them in the oil, without crowding the pan.
  • Cook, flipping once with a slotted spoon, until golden brown, 2-3 minutes total.
  • Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt and devour while hot.

Sauerkraut (Dry Fermenting Cabbage Recipe)

by Nanny Bubby

Total Time:

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 1 cabbage sliced quartered and then sliced thin
  • 2 Tbsp. Himalayan Pink Salt or Kosher Salt
  • 1 outer leaf of cabbage cut round the size of the top of a lid

Directions

  • Chop or shred cabbage. Place in a large ceramic or glass bowl and sprinkle with salt. Combine well with your hands until all the cabbage has been coated with the salt.
  • Let the mixture sit for about 1/2 hour. This allows the salt to pull the juices out of the cabbage.
  • After 1/2 hour or so (you can let it sit for hours), massage the cabbage with clean hands. Massage until the juice begins to drip down to the bottom of the bowl (about 5 minutes).
  • Pack the wilted cabbage down into your canning jars.
  • Tightly pack it in as well as you can. Make sure There is space between the top of the cabbage and the rim of the jar.
  • Cut one of the outer leaves of the cabbage in a circle about the size of the lid. Using one of the clean, outer leaves of the cabbage, lay it on top and press the cabbage below the surface of the water.
  • You might need to weight it with a clean rock or buy a fermenting weight.
  • Screw your lid on tightly keep in a cool dark place for 2-5 weeks.

Notes

Note: It is normal to see bubbles, white scum, or foam on top during the fermentation. You shouldn't see any actual mold, though. If you do, scrape it off the top, and make sure all the rest of the cabbage is fully submerged. All cabbage below the brine level should still be fine.

  • One 24-oz jar crushed tomatoes
  • 1 c. mixed kalamata pitted olives
  • 2 Tbsp. capers if in brine or salt, rinse with water

  • Parmesan or pecorino for grating or shaving

Directions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Heat a large flat-bottom sauté pan over medium heat. Melt the anchovy fillets in a little of their own oil until heated through, then add the white wine. Add the crushed tomatoes, olives, capers, basil, garlic and crushed red pepper if using. Bring the sauce to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook, covered, for 3 minutes. Add the sea bass on top of the sauce. Cover the pan and poach the fish in the sauce for 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until firm but not overcooked, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
  • Transfer the fish to a warm plate. Toss the pasta into the sauce to heat and coat evenly. Place the pasta on a serving plate and top with the sea bass. Sprinkle on parsley, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and add grated or shaved cheese. This is one fish dish that can stand up to added cheese.
