Preparation

Mince your shrimps and squids with a knife. Cut your pepper and courgette into dices. Grind garlic with parsley and sautè them quickly in a nonstick pan. Then, add the fish and the vegetables that you have previously minced. Stir fry quickly, then simmer with a little white vine. Once reduced, add stock and salt and simmer again. Fill your courgette flowers with the stuffing and cook for 5-6 minutes at 200° C. Serve with a drizzle of oil.

Tips
When you buy your courgette flowers, consider that they must be fresh. Only in this case, you will manage to stuff them easily without breaking them.
