Fried flower zucchini
Cut the mozzarella into small cubes and finely chop the anchovies
Add the mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, and chopped anchovies from [1] to a bowl and mix with your hands until it forms a single mass. Since it contains a lot of water, wrap it in kitchen paper or a cloth for a few minutes to remove the moisture
Gently remove the stamens from inside the zucchini flowers
[2] Shape the cheese into a long, thin strip with your hands, then wrap it around the zucchini petals and tightly hold it together
At this point, separate the flower part from the stem and cut the stem in half lengthwise. Mix tempura flour and water to make a batter, then coat the stem in the batter and deep fry for 2 minutes
Once the stems are crispy, remove them to a tray. Next, fry the flowers. Dip the flowers in batter, then coat with breadcrumbs and fry for about 1 minute
Once the flower part is fried, remove it to a tray and sprinkle salt all over it
Spread the tomato sauce in a circle on a plate, drizzle with olive oil, place the fried flowers on top, then the fried stems on top, and sprinkle with Italian parsley to finish
