Squash blossoms -- we used to eat them stuffed with mozzarella and anchovies then battered and deep fried. However, as the family's currently trying to shed some holiday weight after weeks of shameless indulgence, these squash blossoms had to be consumed in a healthier manner.
These squash blossoms have a really delicate flavor, so you've got to be careful not to mask it with something too strong.
