I have not tried this and do not have nasturtium blossoms. But I do have a bumper crop of zucchini blossoms and like to use them in salads as well as frying them, so I will be using the bones of this recipe but with zucchini blossoms. Instead of mincing basil, I will use my "basilica fine nano compatto a palla" (Seeds from Italy website), which is a variety with tiny leaves and a slightly milder flavor than regular basil. Not sure how it could go wrong!
