About

Courgette flowers are the perfect summer starter or afternoon snack. You can find similar recipes all around Southern Italy but the use of mozzarella and anchovies are most traditional around Rome area. A beautifully crunchy courgette flower, creamy cheesy filling with the intense saltiness of anchovies; what more do you want from a starter?
