Fried Stuffed Squash Blossoms - Squash Flowers Stuffed with Goat Cheese

[mikoscience]

Aren't squash blossoms from squash? Filipinos put these in a vegetable stew with ginger. Yummy stuff.

[frostykittens]

It looks like a mini squash

[nsp22]

zuccini = squash



[stankynose]

stuff dat blossom.

[zhyriemusic]

I'm from the Philippines and squash blossoms are pretty common especially in my region. :) Love the recipe!

[dillpickleboocutie]

I want these

[DeluxeWarPlaya]

confirmed for zuccini flowers

[an50331]

looks like a vagina

[krossbonnez]

@an50331 LMFAO, no it doesn't !

[joycloud]

I love squash blossoms. These look delicious.

[kenirox]

i've only had squash blossoms in quesadillas

[BellaSilvery]

i want to eat those.

[raVen670]

I was going to make a comment about filling and reproduction, but you got there before me Chef.

[SinnerJ]

Cheese stuffed reproductive organs.... Yeah... That really reminds me of something...

[PatricaMacjella]

This looks good - I never thought I would ever look at a bunch of flowers the way I do a fat piece of steak.

[nokomarie1963]

Another reason to plant some squash next Summer.

[johnkang2000]

Cream those blossoms....damn!

[PerfectionObsessive]

When my girlfriend's reproductive organ is stuffed with a cheese like filling, it doesn't usually end in a nice conversation.

[raVen670]

@PerfectionObsessive That might be THE most hilarious comment I've ever seen on YT! Thank you for making my day!

[FifteenSpatulas]

Squash blossoms are CRAZY good and I can't think of a better thing to put in there...goat cheese! Yum!

[DraGanu90]

Have the ingredients and I am doing this TODAY!

[jinathezebra]

You're killing me here, seriously. LOOKS SO GOOOOOD.

[yolandac]

You pronounced it correctly! Ardi means sheep and gasna means cheese in basque, which is a language spoken in the Basque Country (that covers a part in the north of Spain and another part in the south of France). The most famous cheese there is IDIAZABAL, which is delicious! I was so surprised and happy to hear some basque words in your video!

[k2dart]

great or greatest first person cooking game?

[Ealts01]

The squash blossoms have a beautiful color. The batter removes that element from the presentation....Might you be able to do this dish (or a variation) without the batter, keeping the appearance of the flower as much as possible?

[TheAmbushHunter]

not a fan of goat cheese...what else can i stuff in to the blossoms?? italian tasting stuff lol.. thanks

[theeSHXT]

squash vagine.

[mahtay2000]

ricotta, diced drained dill pickle, diced cooked beetroot (brunoise), sour cream and horseradish. You're welcome.

[onlyfornintendo]

3:15 hi chef I can see you!!

[saturday7142007]

SQUASH SEX?

[Juberoos]

Im so suprised by the corn starch....never did that in frying before.

[toufas]

we do these at the restaurant i work in a similar way. baby courgettes with their flowers on, we take out the stems, do a slit and open the flower, and put some spanish goats cheese inside, battered and deep fried for ~40 seconds and then drizzle honey on top

[moscowremix]

Ompenings? :P

[Chinamiz]

yummmm!

[liarsclub75]

I have been growing zucchini and making these since I was a kid. I'm really happy to see these become more and more popular, as they really are great.

[carsiotto]

@liarsclub75 I agree! I love Mexican inspired food!

[liarsclub75]

@carsiotto We ate them in Italian recipes, never knew they were used in Mexican also.

[carsiotto]

@liarsclub75 yeah many people eat stuffed squash flowers. That being said things like tomatoes for sauce, bell peppers and squash, such a big part of italian cooking, actually originated in Mexico. In fact polenta even though it has been consumed since roman times, recently (300 yrs) incorporated corn into the recipe, which is a spin off of mexican Atolli, a corn gruel.

[SecretLifeofMissEna]

3:11 Hi Chef John I can see you in the bowl reflection!!

[Strand0410]

3:13 "Speaking of batter.." Thought he was going to make a spousal abuse joke.

Still not sure why the squash blossoms were really necessary. If you stuff something in cheese, cover it in batter then deep fry, it'll just taste like fried cheese.

[tiffal819]

I watched Jamie oliver make these on thursday..

[Stormrunner0002]

This reminds me of the Summer I looked after a ladies garden for her. She complained about me up and down because the squash did not come that year. I found out she was sauteing the blossoms with her morning eggs.

FYI There are false blossoms that the squash put out that do not fruit. It takes a pretty good eye to tell them apart. These would be good to use.

[Cha0sxwazxh3re]

when i saw the thumbnail i thought it was chicken leg lol

[21pcs21]

Yay, I actually am growing some zucchini and was wondering what i could do with the blossoms. Will be trying this soon. Thanks!

[xXxAlyyy]

i hate goat cheese -_-...

[angel2lee]

where's the crunchy sound? : (

[wrathofcell]

wierd...... but looks good

[tulipbaby53]

this looks so yummy, but i don't think i can find this near me!

[AlbinoBlueSquirrel]

so buetiful ;)

[NaturesFairy]

Thank u for this recipe. We have lots of squash blossoms! I'm looking forward to make this!

[Seattle4areus]

Loved to make this but I only have 2 measley tiny squash blossoms so not enough unless I feed the birds......darn looks delicious!

[hijakaftoyl]

Fish & Chips!!! :) haha oh! and super EXTRA cheesy mac&cheese :)

[joakim151]

Please do cheese sticks :D

[BloodAngel6the6king]

no porn references in the stuffing part? i'm dissapointed chef!

[rinaz]

Yay! Fior di zucca!

[InspectorGadget923]

I read the title and though "he's got to be fucking with me, he's showing me how to cook the squash /blossoms/?"

[daughterMYslaughter]

I can't help but laugh whenever you say ''Squash Blossoms''

[threaduponmydreams]

Omg, I want some but I know I'm never gonna make these and nobody's ever gonna make these for me ): I often have this dilemma with your videos...

[Rahim179]

lol finally, someone who has a nice voice to go with a cooking channel

[dodoinurpants]

Definitely original!

[shawnawhiting]

My Italian grandma makes these!! Super yummy!!

[stephanolio24]

I'd switch bowls if I wasn't the only one cooking and cleaning around here : D

[ItsNotMeItsSammieZ]

i would add Jalapeno

[skogenskotte]

fucking smart!

[Airave]

Love it! Learned about it first

in the Mediterranean countries,

on vacation. High 5s!

[mrscardinal1]

Can I go into my neighbor's yard and steal their blossoms? They throw them out anyway. My neighbor doesn't know about this recipe. They just boil their squash. 

[RosesandLaceVintage]

So if you order this in a resturant do you say "I want my blossom stuffed?" lol...

[bilge4eva]

I'm shocked that an American knows that you can eat those :) It's a turkish thing haha

[carsiotto]

@bilge4eva Actually it's a Mexican thing. Squash originated in central and south america. Even the Mexica (aztecs) would eat squash blossoms .

[LilaRgzr]

@carsiotto No way, This is not a Mexican food. This food originated Near Turkey. Nice try though.

[carsiotto]

@LilaRgzr Haha learn your history. Try again, but this time try harder.

[bilge4eva]

@carsiotto Learn the history of squash blossoms? Right....Lol. Many cultures use this, not just Mexican, so stop arguing.

[carsiotto]

@bilge4eva Haha I didnt say no one else does it moron. haha just because others do it, doesnt make it any less mexican. Yeah learn the history of squash and its flowers. The origins are in Mexico. Educate yourself and stop arguing haha

[bilge4eva]

@carsiotto I'm not the one who started this argument? And I'm not nearly as interested enough to learn about squash and their flowers lol, and don't call me a Moron, There is no need for insults over this matter. It's just a flower...don't get all Mexican Patriotic on me.

[carsiotto]

@bilge4eva Haha you were the one that said it was a turkish thing. Who's getting ethnically patriotic? you or me? haha Many cultures use the flowers, yet you had no problem saying it is a turkish thing, and then deny it is a Mexican thing. Im just saying, where it originated. I bet you think tomatoes originated in italy huh?

[EmmaEmerald1]

@carsiotto lol you're so pathetic, it's so funny! Mexicans are famous for 3 things- Burritos, Easy women and border jumping. Don't get all patriotic over such a disgraceful country.

[Salir]

@EmmaEmerald1

Sorry, I don't agree with that dude, but that comment really did hurt. First of all "burritohs" as you guys call it are not even Mexican, second of all our women have lots of pride, many of them served in many of our battles and revolution, and second, not all the people that cross the border are Mexican.

[DoveOfFlames]

@Salir Great response! On behalf of all Caucasians, I apologize for EmmaEmerald1's ignorance. 

[bilge4eva]

@carsiotto You're just ridiculous, You started the argument lol. I'm not the one who's responding to a comment I made about a month ago....And I was just simply stating we use them in our recipes. Calm downnnn, you're making it seem like EVERYTHING orginitated in Mexico. Just don't respond back lol, it's annoying to having to respond to someone who gets agrivated for the slightest reasons.

[carsiotto]

@bilge4eva Actually many foods originated in mexico including chocolate and vanilla haha. Even corn is a Mexican product. Dont get so bent out of shape, have a candy bar haha

[carsiotto]

@EmmaEmerald1 Hahaha what a racist. Read up you dumb bitch.

[carsiotto]

@EmmaEmerald1 You're the dumb fuck you bloated cow haha. You leave you damn anchor baby! haha

[DoveOfFlames]

@EmmaEmerald1 People like you make white people look so bad. I've known Mexicans who know English better than most Caucasians. Speaking of which, there should be a period after "ENGLISH," "i" should always be capitalized, there should be a comma after "read," "you're" should be capitalized, there should be a period after "pathetic," and the "f" should be capitalized in your profanity. If you're going to insult a race's ability to write, learn the language first yourself.

[carsiotto]

@bilge4eva Laterz moron :)

[bilge4eva]

@carsiotto Alright dumbass.

[Shitensou]

@carsiotto He never said Squash didn't originate from Mexico.

All he said was the concept was originated from Turkey.

[MissAdorahLove]

@LilaRgzr we eat similar things in greece all the time :)

[Salir]

@LilaRgzr

We do eat squash blossoms, but we cook them differently AND we don't stuff them...xD

[battelman97]

@carsiotto he said this food originated near turkey not squash blossoms......

[carsiotto]

@battelman97 stuffed squash blossoms are def a mexican thing. Mexicans have been doing it for thousands of years.

[popsugartvyum]

Looks awesome! 

[thegarpling1]

fried semen stuffed vagina

[Manda3EB]

You had me at goat cheese.

[nevi108]

@foodwishes.... I would love a deep fried pickle recipe:-) Thanks.

[chlh03]

[bubblemuffinxp]

[therlaehgund]

Of course I have an abundance of squash blossoms. I keep 'em right next to my left over lobster that I toss into my scrambled eggs in the mornings.

[mrscardinal1]

@therlaehgund :::: I laughed so hard at your comment.

[CMETRIQUE]

@therlaehgund BOOM! You got Chef John. No srsly that was funny :P

[roxtar10870]

@therlaehgund You mean scrambled ostrich eggs right? I like to eat my leftover lobster out of an abalone shell.

[mickysantos]

@therlaehgund if you actually planted squash, you'd know what he means.

[quityojibbajabbaa]

@therlaehgund lmao

[WildChildftw]

[BarFAN21]

[DeblesgiDei]

Hey Chef John, what do you think of Jamie's Food Revolution?

[gardini100]

[markdipaolo]

There is no need to boil the flowers becouse they are so tender and they will easily cook once you fry them!

[markdipaolo]

[volk300]

[kkorovesis]

Loooove those babys You might use Greek feta cheece .i right chef?

[mancillado]

omg, the video hasnt even begun and my mouth is already watering!!

[sosyPel]

:-Q__ _ _

[spoonballs]

I know take a risk in doing this, but for the first time in 630 videos I feel I have some advice or a suggestion for this recipe. You see those 5/6 protuding things near the base of the flower at 0:26, they should be, and generally are snapped off before cooking as they're rather prickly and not that good to eat. The second thing is the removal of the stamen that we see at 2:13, that is bitter (and ugly) and removing it leaves a little more room for the stuffing. Go easy on me...

[spoonballs]

@spoonballs I live in Italy where these things are ubiquitous so i just wanted to offer my thoughts. I am a big fan by the way

[masonrox2547]

Your voice even makes 5:30am amazing. Be an AM radio host! :DDDDD

[boonfactor]

Thank goodness. I was afraid it was going to be Fried Stuffed Peach Blossoms.

[calebthellama]

John. You know, I love falafels, and I'd be MOST obliged if you would show me how to make them...

[charoanticuado1]

hey Chef john, try stuffing them with oaxaca cheese or chihuahua, jalapeño(brunoise), red onion(brunoise) and epazote, i use to have them on my menu, and was a top seller :)and i used Tempura batter, if you cant get oaxaca or chiguagua chees try mozzarella.

[SpazzYSabS]

I have been eating zucchini blossoms all my life .. they are amazing tasting and addictive you cannot just have one! Mom doesn't blanch nor stuff them - just flours them then dip them in an egg mixture and OMG so YUMMY!!!

[guns1312]
