The delicate zucchini or pumpkin flowers are a rather common ingredient in Italian cuisine. They are often incorporated into various dishes such as risottos, flans, or salads, but the preferred option is to stuff them with a different combination of ingredients. The fillings typically include cheese, usually mozzarella or ricotta, meat, and fish, while the classic Ligurian-style fiori di zucca use the creamy mixture of zucchinis, mashed potatoes, and parmesan cheese. Though they can be enjoyed fresh, they are often baked (forno) or coated in batter and fried (fritti) until crispy. This colorful dish is mainly served as an appetizer or a light snack.
