Zucchini flowers stuffed with mozzarella and matcha and battered in miso.
In Rome, there is only one way to eat zucchini flowers: stuffed with mozzarella & anchovies, battered, and fried. Delicious.

And I didn’t want to miss it. Me, the Japan lover, the one who drinks liters of green tea every week!
So I made a zucchini flowers recipe, stuffed with mozzarella and matcha.
