Method
Tip: Courgette flowers only last for 24 hours. So your best bet is to buy them at a farmers markets or farm shops
- Cut the prawns into smaller pieces and blitz in a blender.
- Drop in one egg white and a splash of cream and blend. Add a pinch of salt, a touch more cream and squeeze of lemon. Blend until smooth.
- Transfer the prawn mousse into a piping bag, forcing it down to remove any air pockets, and set aside.
- Snip off the end of the courgettes and make a couple of shallow slits along the base to allow for even cooking. Open the courgette flower, remove the stigma. Pipe the mousse inside, filling it about ¾ full. Close up the flower and twist to encapsulate the mousse. Repeat with the remaining courgettes.
- Line two baskets of a bamboo steamer and place the stuffed flowers in. Steam the stuffed flowers over a low heat for 8-10 minutes on a gentle simmer, swapping the baskets over halfway through to ensure an even cook.
- In a large bowl, combine the cow cheese, cream cheese, splash of cream and season generously. Mix thoroughly.
- When the stuffed flowers are nice and firm, remove them from the steamer baskets and lay over kitchen paper to absorb excess moisture.
- To assemble; spread out the cheese mixture over the plate, place the flowers over top. Garnish with fresh herbs, season generously and drizzle with honey to serve.
