Ingredients

For 2 Dozen(s)

  • 2 small zucchini, chopped very small

  • about 10-15 zucchini flowers, washed and cut into small pieces

  • garlic cloves, very thinly sliced

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup packed fresh mint, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour

  • olive oil, for frying

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl combine all the ingredients except the oil. Using a spoon mix well until you have a smooth batter.

  2. Heat 2 inches of olive oil in a pot over a high flame and drop the batter into the hot oil by spoonful.
