Tempura squash blossoms with sweet chili dipping sauce
What a quick and simple bite from a beautiful source. The squash blossoms made a tender lite bite that carries a delightful squash flavor.
There are two flowers of the squash blossoms. You want to choose the male blossom that has no growing squash attached. the female will have a new squash growing to its bloom and we want those to grow untouched. Blossoms can be stored in a wet paper towel in refrigeration for up to three days. When picking inspect for small bugs that might be hiding inside
Tempua batter
1 1/2 cup flour
12-16 oz lite beer, club soda or my favorite berry sparkling water
Tsp kosher salt
Pepper
Mis well and lightly roll blossom to cover shaking off excess
Carefully lay into hot canola oil. Deep fryer is not needed. Fry pan with oil to cover pan is good and keeps it simple.
I was raised on a large farm in a small community of Long Shop, Virginia. Just a stones throw from Blacksburg, Va and a short drive to the WV boarder. I grew up appreciating Appalachia cooking with low budgets and home grown veggies. What honestly tastes better than a warm tomato out of the garden sliced fat with salt and pepper? Maybe a bowl of good brown pinto beans and cornbread. Or even better grilled trout fresh caught from the creek!
My childhood was a dream... and what has made my passion for food- sharing good meals with good friends and loved ones.
My food always has a story and always in sizes to share.
I now have begun a new adventure with my love Jason, and we created the Bellman and Concierge LLC and reopened the beautiful Oaks Victorian Inn. A childhood home I knew well growing up and now saving for many to enjoy as a Boutique Bed and Breakfast. Cooking for guests and sharing traditions. Come visit us at
