Not garlic at the same time as onions… always last.
Maybe an immersion blender would be better in this case? Just a thought. Also I love your garden! More videos in the garden, please!
Calabaza is “squash” in Spanish, and can refer to any member of the squash family: zucchini, summer, pumpkin, etc. If you see “calabaza” on a menu, what you get could be a surprise 😂
I love your enthusiasm 👍💕🌿🌱
Bro, I have always appreciated how you guys have always incorporated actual Mexican ingredients. I've followed you since you were still brothers green with Yosh. From a Mexican immigrant living in the USA, I thank you friend. Flor de calabaza.
We used it in quesadillas
Mike, please do a video with Luke @ MIgardener. I would love too see you cooking something like this, and him giving gardening advice. Would make for a killer episode! Just a thought.😁 Happy gardening/cooking!
Oh! Next time add pepitas for garnish! I bet it would be delicious.
Good for you! I love this recipe. My family is from Southern Italy and we do something else with the flowers. We make a fritter or like pancake out of them. We actually make a batter with parm cheese eggs flour milk and chop the flowers in and fry them. Lack of pancake! Absolutely delicious. The other thing I do with them is put them on top of pizza give it a try
we call "olote" to the core of the corn and boil it with the stock so it adds more flavour to it
Are all squash flowers edible? I have lots if buttercup squash blooming
Hi Mike, first of all thank you for all your videos and the time you put in to produce them, they are top-notch! You’ve inspired me to be a better home cook and I appreciate that.
I have a question regarding the pot you are using in this recipe, I’m trying to find something like it online… Are you able to share who makes it?
Thanks again
I LOVE your channel. I've been a fan for a long time and have watched your growth. I have to say, the animations are absolutely the cherry on the top of your videos! It doesn't get much better than your videos. The content, transitions, animations, music. You've hit the nail on the head!!!! Keep shining!
Our family enjoys these squash blossoms as well. We simply stir fry them, lightly seasoned, and have it on rice as a side dish. It is divine.
Loved this video on all accounts as so many have said! Would love to see more of the garden, even maybe some tips or how tos??
My mom makes them like a Chile relleno. She cuts them in the AM when the flowers are opens
My favorite are blue corn quesadillas with sautéed squash blossoms, mushrooms and onions. ❤😊
Pick that weed…. MAN! 😀 This is a melde or a goosefoot, it's really healthy and can be eaten! 😀
You deserve all your success ♥
So jealous of that garden
I started watching back when you were still making videos with your brother in that tiny kitchen. And I do kinda miss it to me honest. Back then I was still a teenager. I am in my mid twenties now. It's pretty crazy if you think about it. Thanks for helping me improving my cocking skills over the years. It has been and still is my therapy from the crazy busy world out there. A little time just for you and the fruits of Mother Earth to create some happiness! 🌱🍳🥘
Sending much love from the german capitol to you and your family!
Empanadas with Zucchini flowers are my all time favorite. First time I tried them was in Mexico. It has been years now and I can't stop thinking about them.
I didn't know Zucchini flowers were edible.
That old video is a goldie oldie. Warmed my heart earlier today when was much needed. Thank you friend. Full circle!
I remember when I first watched that video and absolutely loved the vibe and watching you cook. A lot of your videos got me through college! 😂🙌🏻 still haven’t tried the zucchini flowers but it’s one of many goals in life 💜
Nice video! Have you tried deep frying the Zucchini flowers with an Indian batter similar to that of Pakora? It's a must try!
Figs give you fruit the fastest! Berries also! Amazing recipe!!!

I love ittttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in order to stuff the zucchini flower you have to pick it up early in the morning before the sun rises. It is open then and after the sunrise it closes.
