Hors d’oeuvre (according to Merriam-Webster) refers to a food served in small portions before the main part of a meal, and which Wikipedia states is “often meant to be eaten by hand”.
Though this might not be quite what the French meant, it is exactly that.
Heat a half or one teaspoon or pure, organic ghee, or a good oil like cold pressed organic sesame oil, add the flowers and fry till lightly browned, and
nicely crisp!
Add salt to taste and mix well with hot rice.
Serve hot, at the start of the meal.
