Instructions

  1. 1 Place potatoes in a large saucepan with enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high; cover, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and run under cold water until cool enough to handle. Drain well and pat dry.
  2. 2 While potatoes cook, heat 3 inches of oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-low to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. 3 Using a ricer or potato masher, thoroughly mash potatoes so no chunks remain. Stir together mashed potatoes, rice flour, cornstarch, kosher salt, and seasoning salt in a medium bowl until mixture comes together and forms a dough, adding 1 teaspoon of water at a time as needed.
  4. 4 Divide dough into 4 pieces. Shape each piece into a 1-inch diameter log, and cut each log into 1-inch pieces.
  5. 5 Working in batches, fry dough pieces in hot oil until lightly golden, turning occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a spider or slotted spatula, transfer from oil to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain. Repeat with remaining dough pieces.
  6. 6 Increase heat to medium-high to increase oil temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  7. 7 Fry a second time, in batches, until deep golden brown and crispy, another 2 minutes. Return to wire rack and dust with additional seasoning salt, if desired. Serve immediately. Recipe developed by Ali Ramee

Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Gently rinse the squash blossoms to remove any dirt or debris; remove the stamens as they are bitter and not edible.
  2. 2 Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Prepare a large bowl of ice-cold water. Drop squash blossoms into the boiling water until slightly wilted, 30 to 45 seconds; lift with a slotted spoon and immediately place into the cold water to chill. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  3. 3 Make the filling: Mix goat cheese, Gruyère, egg yolk, pepper, and cayenne together in a bowl until smooth. Spoon into a 1-quart resealable plastic bag, squeeze out the air, and seal the bag. Cut a small corner off the bag.
  4. 4 Gently insert the cut corner of the bag into the open end of a blossom and pipe in about 1 tablespoon filling, making sure it fills all the way to the bottom. Lift petals up and drape over filling to cover completely. Fold any excess petals over the top of the filled blossom to keep them out of the way. Repeat to fill remaining blossoms. Refrigerate until cheese is set and firm, at least 30 minutes.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, make the batter: Combine flour and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Whisk in ice-cold water, a little at a time, until batter is smooth and has the thickness of pancake batter.
  6. 6 Heat 1 inch oil in a cast iron skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). A drop of batter carefully dripped into the oil should sizzle immediately.
  7. 7 Remove squash blossoms from the refrigerator and dust lightly with all-purpose flour on all sides. Shake off excess flour and dip blossoms in batter. Let excess batter drip off.
  8. 8 Gently lay about six coated squash blossoms on their sides in hot oil and cook until pale golden brown, about 1 minute on the first side and 30 seconds to 1 minute on the remaining sides.
  9. 9 Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat to fry remaining blossoms. Let cool slightly before serving.

  6. 6 Whisk lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, egg yolks, and salt together in a glass bowl. Set the bowl over the simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until curd foams, then thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove the bowl from the simmering water. Gradually whisk in coconut oil until melted and incorporated.
  7. 7 Strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve; discard solids left in the strainer. Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Transfer to the refrigerator.
  8. 8 Turn off oven and keep meringues inside until completely dry, about 1 hour.
  9. 9 Combine heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and orange blossom water in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  10. 10 Spoon lemon curd into the center of the cooled meringues. Mound whipped cream over the curd. Arrange grapefruit, orange, and persimmon slices on top. Sprinkle pomegranate seeds over the top.

Instructions

  1. 1 Prepare lemon curd filling: Cut butter into small pieces and set aside.
  2. 2 Separate eggs, placing yolks in a heat-proof bowl and whites in glass, metal, or ceramic bowl. Cover egg whites and leave on the counter to come to room temperature for the meringue.
  3. 3 Add lemon zest, salt, sugar, and lemon juice to egg yolks. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
  4. 4 Add 1 to 2 inches water to a saucepan over low heat; bring to a simmer. Place bowl of filling over the simmering water. Cook, stirring constantly with a spatula, until mixture is very hot to the touch and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. 5 Stir in butter, 3 or 4 pieces at a time, waiting until butter has melted before each addition. Remove from the heat and pour filling into a bowl to cool, about 15 minutes. Lay plastic wrap on top of the filling, pressing down so it doesn't develop a skin, and place in the refrigerator until well chilled, 2 to 3 hours.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner, such as Silpat®. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
  7. 7 Begin meringue: Mix cornstarch into sugar and set aside.
  8. 8 Add cream of tartar, lemon juice, and vanilla to the reserved egg whites. Whisk with a large whisk until very soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Whisk in sugar mixture, 2 tablespoons at a time, whisking about 1 minute between each addition, until incorporated. When all sugar mixture has been added, continue to whisk until relatively stiff peaks form and whites are firm enough to hold their shape.
  9. 9 Use 2 spoons or a piping bag to transfer whites onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a ring of dollops about 8 or 9 inches across. Fill in the middle with meringue, then go back around the edges adding more meringue to build up the outside edge.
  10. 10 Bake in the center of the preheated oven for exactly 1 hour. At 1 hour, turn off the oven and crack the door. Let meringue sit in the oven until its cooled completely, about 1 hour.
  11. 11 Meanwhile, prepare blueberry sauce: combine 1 cup blueberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until blueberries collapse and liquid thickens, about 10 minutes.
  12. 12 Remove from the heat and pass through a fine mesh strainer. Place in the refrigerator until fully chilled, about 45 minutes.
  13. 13 Very carefully transfer cooled meringue to a serving platter using 2 large spatulas if necessary; you may get some cracks but that's okay. Use a spoon to crack the center a bit to make room for the filling.
  14. 14 Fill the center with chilled lemon curd filling. Place remaining blueberries over top and drizzle with blueberry sauce. Garnish with mint.
