Steps

1

Carefully wash the zucchini blossoms (which should be picked the same morning) and remove the yellow stamen inside.
2

In a large pan, heat half of the olive oil and sauté the onion for 2 minutes.
3

Add the rice and stir for 1-2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper, and let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
4

Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5

Add the herbs, mix well, and taste for salt. Prepare a shallow, wide pot.
6

Fill each blossom about 2/3 full, gently fold the edge, and place it in the pot with the edge facing down. Repeat with all the blossoms, placing them side by side.
7

Partially cover with water, add the remaining olive oil, and place a heavy plate upside down on top to keep them from opening during cooking.
8

Cover the pot and let them simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
