Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz peekytoe crabmeat
2 tbsp creme fraiche
1 lemon , zested and juiced
1 tbsp thinly sliced chives
fine sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
piment d'espelette
12 large zucchini flowers , stamens removed
1 tbsp water
6 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 tbsp dijon mustard

Directions:

Combine the crabmeat, crème fraîche, lemon juice and zest, and chives in a mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt, white pepper and piment d'Espelette. Using a small spoon or a piping bag, gently stuff each zucchini flower three-quarters full with the crab mixture.
