- First make the batter. Sieve the flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Pour in the extra virgin olive oil, stir and add in sufficient water to make a batter about the consistency of thick cream. Leave to stand for at least 1 hour if you can. Just before cooking, whisk the egg whites to a stiff peak and fold into the batter. Add in salt to taste.
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer till very warm. Remove the thorns from the base of the zucchini flowers and the stamens from the centre. Hold a flower upright, open slightly and carefully. Put about 15g goats' cheese, 1/2tsp pesto and 1tsp tomato fondue in each. Twist the top of the petals to seal.
- Dip in the batter and drop into the warm oil. Fry on one side for about 2 min and then turn over. They will take about 4 min in total to become crisp and golden brown. You may need to work in batches.
- Drain on kitchen paper and serve immediately - just as they are or possibly with warm tomato sauce or possibly a little extra tomato fondue.
- Pesto: In a food processor, whizz the basil with the extra virgin olive oil, pine kernels and garlic, or possibly lb. them in a pestle and mortar. Remove to a bowl and mix in the parmesan cheese. Taste and season with salt.
