- zucchini blossoms
- mozzarella cheese
- flour
- sparkling water
- a pinch of salt

- BATTER:

- FOR THE ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS:
- Pull the stamen from the inside of the zucchini blossoms.
- Cut a piece of mozzarella into a small strip and place it inside the zucchini blossom, along with a salted anchovy.
- Dip the flowers into the batter, and deep fry in hot oil.
- FOR THE SAGE LEAVES:
- Smush some anchovies onto one side of a sage leaf.
- Cover with a sage leaf of a similar size and press down.
- Holding the leaves by the stem, swish it in the batter, covering both sides of the leaves.
- Fry in hot, deep oil.
