Squash Blossoms for Dinner
Our Farmer’s Market opened Saturday and on a whim I bought a bag of squash blossoms. I’ve lived in the Southwest for 28 years and have never cooked (or eaten) squash blossoms! Time to correct that! Tonight I fixed beef burritos and a salad and realized that I better cook my blossoms. Of course I went to the internet and googled ‘squash blossom’ and up came pictures of squash blossom necklaces – beautiful ones. Then I forced myself to find some edible squash blossom recipes. Most were more involved that I wanted. Squash blossoms are blossoms from zucchini plants that are colorful and delicate. I found this recipe in a blog, tried it and wow! These are good! Sometime I’d like to try batter fried blossoms but not til I lose more weight! The helpful blog: http://kitchen-parade-veggieventure.blogspot.com/2006/09/simple-baby-pattypan-squash-with.html with lots of interesting information.
