    I used to watch you all the time good to see you again. I’ve been curious about this blossom fish. I ‘ve watched several others make it but they seem to skip over talking about the texture. I had to see what you think of it you tell it like it is. So I’m that much closer to trying this now. Thanks for the tips. I’ll go buy your book.

  • @laurabiscaro8135
    @laurabiscaro8135 3 года назад +1

    I have no idea what banana blossom tastes like, but based on the texture, maybe treat the fresh ones like an artichoke (?) Like, maybe blanche it in some boiling water for a few minutes to get rid of some of the astringency. Or even leaving it soaking in lemon water for a few hours and changing the water a couple of times. I don't know, but I feel like it's a vegetable with a lot of room for improvement :)

    We cook with fresh. We use it for pan fry. With ginger, garlic, chilli, salt and a lot of Oil. You need fat to get rid of the bitterness. We also eat the core of Banan plant ( banana is a plant not a tree). Everything that comes out of a banana plant is useful in the kitchen ( not always edible tho). And your "fresh blossom" doesn't look fresh. The small flowers are suppose to be White and full of nectar. It looked black in the video. Which means it's been few days since it's been picked.

    If you make your own sparkling water with plain water in a soda stream- it’s not club soda. It’s just sparking water. Club soda has salt and or minerals added to it, giving it a distinct taste different from sparkling water.
