Servings: persons

1/4 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/4-in. dice
Kernels from 1 ear fresh corn
1 tablespoon minced red onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
About 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
About 1/4 teaspoon pepper
18 zucchini or butternut squash blossoms, with stems if you like
Canola oil for frying
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup rice flour
Snipped chives or small fresh basil leaves (or torn if large)
Lemon wedges (optional)

1
Mix cheese, corn, onion, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Gently stuff each blossom with about 1 1/2 teaspoons filling and twist ends of petals closed.
2
Pour oil into a medium, heavy pot or saucepan until 3 in. deep. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360u00b0 to 375u00b0.
3
Put buttermilk and rice flour in separate containers (loaf pans work well, since the high sides prevent spilling).
4
One at a time, dip each stuffed blossom into buttermilk and let excess drip off. Dip in flour, coating lightly but evenly.
5
Shake off excess flour and fry blossoms in small batches until golden brown, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Gently submerge blossoms with a slotted spoon to cook tops. Drain on paper towels. Season with salt, sprinkle with chives or basil, and serve with lemon wedges if you like.
