This easy-to-prepare recipe is an unparalleled delicacy! For an optimal result get some rather large and fresh flowers, stuff them as you like (or follow our recipe!) and fry them in deep oil using the immersion technique. Serve them hot and I recommend…make enough because they will never be enough!
