A beautiful and unique dish using courgette flower

A beautiful and unique dish using courgette flowers by @SonaliCooks #repost 🌼🥒
“𝒞𝑜𝓊𝓇𝑔𝑒𝓉𝓉𝑒 𝒻𝓁𝑜𝓌𝑒𝓇𝓈 𝒻𝒾𝓁𝓁𝑒𝒹 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝓂𝒾𝓈𝑜 𝒸𝒶𝓈𝒽𝑒𝓌 𝒸𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓂
Courgette flowers are just so stunning so I was delighted to find them at the local farmers market. They are often served filled with ricotta cheese and fried but I wanted to create a dish that was #vegan and also healthier
So I am super excited to share my version which is so darn delicious!!
The miso adds a wonderful umami and combined with the cashews and spring onions results in such a creamy delight
Ingredients:
💚 Bunch of courgette flowers
💚230g raw unsalted cashews soaked in water for 3 hours or overnight (keep in the fridge of overnight) 💚1.5 tbsp miso paste @yutakaeats
💚2.5 tbsp nutritional yeast
💚1 tsp garlic powder or fresh garlic
💚2 tbsp olive oil
💚Salt and pepper, to taste
💚1 spring onion finely chopped
💚30g walnuts finely chopped
💚4 tbsp water
💚Garnish:
🌱Grated walnuts
🌱Micro herbs - I used red amaranth from my fave supplier @mini.herbs
Method:
1️⃣Prepare the flowers by gently reaching in to the center of each flower and pinch out the stamen and discard. Fill a bowl with water and lightly wash the flowers and stalks in the bowl and then place flowers on a paper towel to drain. Trim the stems if you have male flowers
2️⃣In a high speed blender or vitamix blitz all the ingredients for the cashew cream together adding a little more water until it’s a silky smooth consistency and scraping down the sides every now and then. You need to ensure the walnuts are well diced so that they don’t get stuck in your piping bag later. Place all the ingredients in a piping bag and cut the top off.
3️⃣ Carefully open up each flower and pipe the cashew cream filling inside. Close the flower, twisting the ends of the petals to seal. Note: you could use a spoon instead but it may be a little more tricky
4️⃣I enjoyed them as they were, garnished with grated walnuts and topped with micro herbs and absolutely loved them but you could lightly pan fry them in oil in a pan fry them in oil in a pan if you preferred to cook them”

Juicy and sweet, peaches are perfect at this time of year! With smooth velvety skin and soft fragrant flesh, they’re full of key vitamins and minerals as well as antioxidants which can prevent or delay some types of cell damage.
Very versatile, peaches can be eaten raw, grilled, roasted, poached, sautéed or blended into smoothies, and are great in both warm and cold dishes.
