Edible Flower Spring Rolls

SpringRollForBlog


Using Edible Flowers 
in your party desserts, drinks, salads and even main dishes adds a unique element to your celebration. They add color, elegance, a bit of whimsy, and also have an interesting range of tastes.

Search for what is in season in your area – your local farmers’ market is a great source for finding out what is available and they’ll often have much more variety than the grocery store. Always ask vendors how their flowers are grown (you don’t want to eat flowers that have been sprayed with pesticides!). You can also order edible flowers (fresh or crystallized, which are great for using atop desserts) from several sites online (Gourmet Sweet Botanicals).

I combined a few Spring Roll recipes, and added some beautiful edible flowers to arrive at this one. It most closely resembles the one in the Whole Foods cookbook. You can easily swap out the filling ingredients to what is available and according to your own preferences.

Edible Flower Spring Rolls

are a beautiful and delicious party food, or just to spoil yourself and your loved ones. Since they are best when freshly made (or served within 1 or 2 days) I reduced the ingredients by a third for a party of three.

Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Toss the remaining ingredients gently, excluding the dipping sauce.
  • Set up assembly area on a flat work surface; place a clean kitchen towel on the surface.
  • To soften the spring roll wrappers: Fill a large pan, (wide enough to lay spring roll wrapper out flat) with a couple of inches of very hot water. Place one spring wrapper into the water, submerging entirely for about 30 seconds until it is slightly soft. It will continue to soften as you add ingredients.

To Assemble:

  • Lay wrapper flat; place cabbage, mint, cilantro, basil, carrots, scallions, and edible flowers, leaving about 2 inches uncovered on each side. Fold uncovered sides inward, then roll the wrapper to resemble a burrito. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Serve

  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, or make your own with my Asian dipping sauce recipe.
