Procedure

Take some nice zucchini flowers and fill with: cooked meat, cooked salami, finely minced parsley and garlic; eggs and grated cheese.

Deep fry in oil and serve very hot. A new type of caponèt, another invention of our gastronomic panorama.

This time it is easy to find a link between the capons that are served for Christmas and our spring cockerel.

Indeed, as those capons no longer… cock as roosters….

The filling of this caponèt is put in unfertile zucchini flowers, and this is where the name comes from.

Another example for the use of this product that is apparently secondary otherwise useless, is that is result is very pleasant.
