Cuisine/ Κουζίνα: Greek
Ingredients/ Συστατικά
  • 100 gr. / 4 oz. la vache qui rit cheese or 6 triangles or cream cheese
  • 200 gr. / 7 oz. yellow cheese of any type, grated (you can use Monterey Jack)
  • 60 gr. / 2 oz. feta cheese, finely crumbled
  • 5 tbsp milk
  • 2 tsp dried mint
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of paprika
For the Breading
  • 16 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 22 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • About 25 to 30 blossoms
  • Olive oil to fry them
Instructions/ Εκτέλεση
  1. In a bowl mix all the cheeses, milk, mint, paprika and salt.
  2. Remove the stamens of the flowers and stuff them with 1 tsp of the cheese batter.
  3. Close them carefully.
  4. In another bowl, mix the flour with the water and salt until one batter as thick as the one of the crepes is formed.
  5. Bathe the stuffed flowers in it and place them in a rack to drain a bit until oil becomes ready to fry them.
  6. Fry them in batches.
  7. It took me about one to one and a half minute per batch but this depends on the fire.
  8. You will understand they are done when they take a nice golden color outside.
  9. After the second batch I lowered the heat from 8 to 7 because the oil started becoming too hot.
  10. Remove, let cool a bit and serve with tzatziki or plain yogurt on mayonnaise.
