Courgette Flowers, Each

Fresh Courgette Flowers are fresh courgette flowers – the brilliant orange blossoms of the courgette plant, one of the most delicate and seasonal treats in Italian cooking. Courgette flowers are available only for a very short period in summer. As a result, they are a genuinely seasonal pleasure that rewards prompt use. Furthermore, they are among the most versatile of all edible flowers – stuffed, fried, baked or added raw to salads. In particular, stuffed and deep-fried courgette flowers in the Roman style are one of the great pleasures of Italian summer cooking.

About Fresh Courgette Flowers

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Fresh Courgette Flowers from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Fresh Courgette Flowers From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.

How to Cook Fresh Courgette Flowers

To get the very best from Fresh Courgette Flowers:

• Gently open each flower and check for insects, then handle very carefully as they are extremely fragile.
• Stuff with a mixture of ricotta, lemon zest and herbs, then dip in a light tempura batter and fry at 180°C until golden.
• Furthermore, courgette flowers can be baked stuffed with mozzarella and anchovy at 200°C for 10 minutes.
• Additionally, use raw petals torn into a salad or as a garnish where their colour and delicacy are most appreciated.

Perfect Pairings

Fresh Courgette Flowers pairs beautifully with:

• Ricotta, lemon zest and fresh herbs for the classic stuffing
• Mozzarella and anchovy for a savoury baked alternative
• A chilled glass of Soave, Vermentino or a crisp Prosecco
• Good olive oil and sea salt as the only accompaniment needed

Storage: Keep refrigerated and use within a few days of delivery. Most vegetables are best stored unwashed in the fridge. However, root vegetables and onions keep well in a cool, dark, dry place. Furthermore, use as soon as possible after delivery for the finest flavour. Delivered fresh and ready to prepare.

However you prepare it, Fresh Courgette Flowers brings a depth of flavour and quality to the table that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, cooking with the finest seasonal produce is one of the great pleasures of the kitchen.
