Instructions
- Begin by sourcing your focaccia bread, preferably one made from ancient grains or multigrain for nutritional benefits and flavor depth.
- Prepare a cleansing bath for the zucchini blossoms by filling a bowl with cool water and gently submerging them to remove any dirt or insects. Carefully pat them dry with a soft cloth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 100g of soft goat cheese with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh chives, and a pinch of black pepper, stirring until the mixture is smooth and uniformly combined.
- Carefully open each zucchini blossom and stuff with approximately 1 teaspoon of the herbed goat cheese mixture, then gently twist the tips of the petals to close.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 1 cup of chickpea flour (or another gluten-free flour like buckwheat) with 1 cup of sparkling water, and a pinch of salt until a smooth batter forms, akin to a tempura batter consistency.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add enough ghee or coconut oil to create a depth of about 1/2 inch for frying.
- Fry the blossoms for approximately 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until they are a light golden-brown hue, ensuring careful handling to maintain their integrity.
- Transfer the fried blossoms onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Slice the focaccia bread into sandwich-sized portions and lightly toast it if desired for added texture and warmth.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing the fried zucchini blossoms onto the bottom slice of the focaccia; you may add a spread of the remaining herbed goat cheese mixture if preferred.
- Top with fresh salad greens that align with sattvic principles, such as spinach, arugula, or mixed baby greens.
