A 78 Italian woman stopped by my home today because she noticed I was growing squash flowers in my Garden. She said she needed just 6 of them to make these special treats for her family. It made me feel good to make her so happy I see how happy they make your family. I knew about this process but have never tried them myself.This year I have enough buds to try it. You also make me miss both my Nonna's she's adorable. My Nonna used to wash the paper towels and hang dry. Waste not want not has always been our standard of living also.
This is a wonderful video... on Guam we too eat the flower this way and in soup... we eat pumpkin tip greens in our soups with coconut milk, shrimp or crab or lobster.
Black girl from Philly who loves cooking italian. Have a bunch of zucchini flowers in my small urban homestead... can't wait to make Nonna's recipe. Thanks for the upload, pretty awesome.
Hey black girl from philly, I’m a black girl living in northern Italy for 20+ years, I can send you more simple easier Italian recipes....this must be a recipe from southern Italy or made just for an American audience.... generally speaking, Italian cooking is really very simple and it’s rare to fry in olive oil.....
Hello,girls I'm in USA but born in GREECE and came here 15 Now 60 always remember making this with my mom's mom And my mom Now I do with my Kids lolol And on the left over fried dough I squise lemon Ohhh that's Sooo Good Nice meeting you Girls kiss nana for me she is so sweet And treasure these Moments I don't have them Any more and I remember those times 😢
I love that you actually gave us a closeup of you two eating the flowers and the fritters. So many cooking videos just don't do that, and it really ties a nice bow on the whole thing for me.
Absolutely LOVE this video! Makes me so proud of my American Italian heritage. My Mother and Father both born and raised in Italy and I miss them dearly!!!
You are so blessed and lucky to grow up with your Nonna. Mine died when I was young, so I didn't have the opportunity to share in these kind of moments. The only good thing is, my mother (not Italian) learned most of her recipes like gnocchi, homemade pasta, cappaletti soup and some other Italian recipes. Now I am making them in my retirement and sharing with my family members who value it. I'm going to be making these tonight for the first time. Here goes nothing. Fingers crossed!!
You can grow anything in Brooklyn, they have the tiniest yards and grow everything! We had bionic veges and flowers, my father threw all the scraps out in the yard! Oh how I wish I was back in my Brooklyn! ♥️ I hope to try the flowers like this I usually just do a batter! 😋😘
OMG, I cannot believe that you two only made 12 of these! I just made them right now, and I ate them all. The sharpness from the capers and the parmigiano really makes these little goodies pop with the melted mozzarella.
In case anyone reads this later, you can use any related flowers from squash, pumpkin, etc. and even day lillies (but make sure you have the right ID as some lillies are toxic!). Just before we're expecting a freeze, I pick all the flowers. They keep well in a covered container in the refrigerator. Just add a damp paper towel inside so they stay fresh. I saw another video where he liked to pick the baby zucchini with the flower on and fry the whole thing in one piece. I'd forgotten about doing that and had one -- just didn't think to do that with it. It ended up in my zucchini pasta dish for dinner tonight.
I made zucchini flowers a couple days ago, & I wish I'd have thought about frying the leftover fritters! What a great idea; it's the fried batter that's so good!
My mom, from. Naples, would add thinly sliced zucchini to the left over dough to make zucchini fritters. I never added mint or capers. I am definitely going to try adding them to my next batch! Thanks Nonna!
I found some zucchini flowers at my grocery store today so I bought a bunch. I'm making them tonight. It's been years since I've had them. Thanks for the recipe. This is my childhood all over again.
female zucchini flowers have a bulb/overawes on the stem right under the start of the bud. Male flower stems are the same size all the way to the flower bulb
I just have to add... last year I learned how to make Zucchini Fritters. This dough would have been paired perfectly with shredded zucchini added to it ❤️
Oh my God I am catching up on your video's I am amazed at all the traditional recipes that my mom would make and this is just one of many of your recipes. These are so tasty and light as air. You and your Nonna are the best. I wonder if your family is from Naples or near Naples. I am 1/2 Calabrese, on my dad's side and my mom was Napolitano.
My Nona would give me a paper lunch bag and send me into the garden usually the flower would be closed with a resting bee inside. I would hand Nona the bag and say be careful bees inside bag, on the back porch she would tap the bag open it and the bees would fly away. Happened every time 🐝🐝🐝
One of my favorite foods from my childhood. Didn’t enjoy picking them in the garden for my parents. Too many bees. Cannot find zucchini flowers in Florida and I really miss them. Thanks for the video.

While searching for a fried blossom recipe I came across several vids before this one, a "nonna" from Italy with a heavy accent, Bingo!! Found my recipe!
First time I tasted zucchini flowers thanks to you! I improvised the stuffing but the batter was by your recipe and it was awesome! And I just love your accent! 😍
Loved this video! I've never made zucchini flowers, but I'll have to see if there are any at the farmer's market! They look delicious....and so simple!!
I grew up on this. You find the most uniquely colored yellow and black specked flies in the flowers lol ya know?..make sure you clean them good. You can throw these Zuchinni flowers in anything or eat them straight. They r so sweet.
I live in a co-op apartment complex. We are not allowed to grow vegetables. But one day I saw someone had been growing zucchini and the maintenance Dept ripped them out of the ground. There were many zucchini flowers. So I brought them home and battered and fried them and they were delicious. My family also uses the leftover batter and makes fritters.
Mamma called them 'fritu ciurri di zucca'....and I love them! Thanks for this upload...and a great Molese twist I will certainly try. Please send my love to Nonna Romana.
Almost impossible to grow zucchini in Alaska but I keep trying just so I can have the flowers!! Love this recipe with the parmigiano in the batter. Can't wait to try it!
Nonna Romana reminds me so much of my Portuguese grandmother. I would have sprinkled a little salt on top when they came fresh out of the oil. Otherwise they look DELICIOUS!
Rossella keep putting out these incredible recipe's!! Luv zucchini flowers, fritters.....everything zucchini. You have to do a recipe for zucchini parmesan if you haven't already. In my opinion it's even better than eggplant parmesan. Although I luv both.
Wow....I just watched it. My mouth is literally watering as I post this comment I swear lol. How did I miss that one. Your right about it being the perfect diet recipe. I have to admit you cover so many recipe's that I grew up with. Keep capturing these treasures before we lose all these nonna's forever.! God bless
Love the zucchini flowers. Maybe, I've missed that: have you taken out the stigma of the flower? and I have noticed that you do not peel off the sepal either, those tiny green things at the bottom of the flower. If you do not peel them off, do you notice those when you are eating them? I feel like they can ruin the taste..
Love zucchini flowers! Made them yesterday but the way we make them in my region which is Salerno. Is we make them into small balls that are light they serve them as apps there, called fritelle So so good!!! 🙏❤️🇮🇹
Beautiful presentation! Love ❤️Nanna ! enjoy watching! Well done ! Thanks for sharing this great recipe with us ! Subscribed+ 1193 like 👍 for supporting! ❤️
The plant is best known for the edible flower buds ( capers), used as a seasoning, and the fruit (caper berries), both of which are usually consumed pickled.
I hope you see this, sometimes inside the pistol you'll find that little but, do you check for that, if so how. Also with left over batter you can add any zucchini flowers to the batter.
Those look great! And I'm sure they are... Question: I have ornamental pumpkin blooms real heavy on my plants. Can I cook and eat them like the zucchini blooms?
I am picking some and making them tonight. I am a rebel. Should have picked in the morning but oh well. Last year i set free a bee that was trapped in a flower. so maybe i can save a few more collecting at night.
I went to go sub and was already subbed from rainbow cookie recipe lol. Also, can't believe I went all the way to Italy without trying these somewhere!

Another thing you can do with the flowers is saute them with garlic. Add over linguini.

@@juanitablaz6709Oh that sounds gooooood❤️
Nonna Rossella has star quality. She shines on camera. I'm gonna look for more great recipes from you guys. Ciao nonna
I just watched this with my Italian-Sicilian American father and we really enjoyed it. Reminded us of our Nona’s that have passed on. Beautiful show!

Looks great.. I will try this recipe!! I may substitute basile for mint..

If the batter is right, then fried zucchini flowers are heaven-sent

This video could've been 2 minutes long and told me all I needed to know.
But I loved every minute. Thanks!
What a sweet video!
I love it...
I can taste these already!
Mmmmm!
Love this video and can't wait to make this!
I wish my yiayia was still alive. I miss cooking with her. Thank you for the recipe. I have plenty of zucchini blossoms that I need to use up.
Definitely making it today. Your Nonna is the cutest!❤️
"Nonna's hands are like fireproof" 😂 I can relate!
...but not mine!!!!
I swear mine could pick up boiling pots of water with her bare hands!

In the left over batter you can also dip sliced zucchini and make zucchini fritters. They also taste delicious.
I've gotta try this.

Thank u I love the flowers I'm growing zucchIni tomatoes spinach food times are bad
Lovely channel Rossella, I'm making fried zucchini flowers today!
You two are just precious. I wish I had seen this a few months ago as I had a very active zucchini plant.
Love zucchini flower quesadillas!! Yummy!! My momma would cook for us using fresh corn tortillas!!
Your Nonna is adorable! That looks so good. I'mma try it.
This looks like such a great recipe to make! Unfortunately the link for the recipe no longer seems to work :(

Do you wash or rinse/clean the flowers first?
I clap and bounce to the intro,my kids adore their Nonna!!!
guys you are so cool. Mama is lovely. I like her.. what a lady and what a daughter.....have wonderful time together...thanks for this upload.
It's actually grandma and niece lol
Thank you Nonna 😊

Momma knows best. Reminds me of my grandma and growing up in a half Italian home. Spaghetti and lasagna every Sunday.
Best time Sunday,I could smell that good food from here,lol
What a fun video!! I've never had them. I'm going to the Farmers Market tomorrow so I will see if I can find some.
Next year... plant your own! LOL

Do I wash the flowers

What is those dark green bean things that you called caperi?

I hope you see this, sometimes inside the pistol you'll find that little but, do you check for that, if so how. Also with left over batter you can add any zucchini flowers to the batter.
I use lemonade and lemon balm instead of mint its gorgeous
Those look great! And I'm sure they are... Question: I have ornamental pumpkin blooms real heavy on my plants. Can I cook and eat them like the zucchini blooms?
Charles Whyte I had them in Mexico and they were delicious.
Nice
@4:30 I think Nonna's had enough, LOL.
I like Nonna 👍
Where does she get the olive oil? I like fresh olive oil not the rancid stuff in stores.
Thumbs Up For The Memories alone.
Magnificent!
Thank you!
I am picking some and making them tonight. I am a rebel. Should have picked in the morning but oh well. Last year i set free a bee that was trapped in a flower. so maybe i can save a few more collecting at night.
Those capers are huge.
Nonna Romana ❤️❤️❤️
Italian women . The best..
I went to go sub and was already subbed from rainbow cookie recipe lol. Also, can't believe I went all the way to Italy without trying these somewhere!
Hands down, my favorite 'snack'! How is everything? Georgeanne
They are the best!
Blessings to you Rossella and to Nonna Romana 😊
Thank you!!!!
brava la nonna é anche té Rossella , ché buono questa ricetta , adesso mi fa fame ;-)
I use ricotta and grated par to stuff
You should demonstrate how to clean them.
Why not chop up the leftover flowers and mix them into the fritter batter? Maybe the cheese and capers too.
I would not have any leftover flowers! 😁
My nonna always said to pick the flowers in the morning to make sure there are no bugs inside, and pick the male flowers.
