For the green garlic oil

  • Simply chop green bottoms and tops to spring garlic. Then place the green garlic in boiling salted water for 45 seconds and then shock in an ice bath. Squeeze dry the green garlic and place in a vitamix with the oil.
    Puree for 30 seconds to a minute. Then strain through a chinois ( if you want no sediment in the oil at all use a cheesecloth as well) Season with salt and place in a squeeze bottle.

To finish

  • Bring a small fryer up to 315-325 degrees or a saute pan filled with 1 1/2 cups of oil. Dip each squash blossom into the tempura batter and then place in the frying pan.
    Fry for 2-3 minutes until crispy. Strain out onto a paper towel and season with salt. Meanwhile using a ring mold add your lentil-veggie medley to the bowl. Pour your squash curry soup around the vegetables.
    Place a squash blossom on top and garnish with radish flowers and garlic oil. Serve and enjoy!
