Stuffed Candlewick Flower

Stuffed Candlewick Flowers were a vegetarian dish made by stuffing the blossom of a candlewick flower with a sweet and creamy filling and then frying them. It was made by Alderaanians on the homeworld of the candlewick, the Core Worlds planet Alderaan, and on Birren, an Inner Rim worldBloodline where Alderaanian settlers introduced the flower.
On Birren, both the flower and dish survived the destruction of Alderaan by the Galactic Empire in 0 BBY,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas and during a culinary tour of the galaxy that he made between 34 ABY and 35 ABY, the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs picked as much candlewick as he could on Birren so that he could make Stuffed Candlewick Flowers as a special treat. Tuggs then included a recipe for the dish in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, which was published in 35 ABY.
==Behind the scenes==
Stuffed Candlewick Flowers were created as a recipe for the 2023 Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook, a recipe book written by Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak. The out-of-universe recipe for the dish is based around squash blossoms, making use of ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, lemon zest, garlic powder, basil, oregano, black pepper, and kosher salt for the filling and then mochiko, a large egg, and sparkling water for the batter with vegetable oil to fry in.
