We had squash blossoms or bulaklak ng kalabasa in the vernacular in our dinner two weeks ago. These cooked with other vegetables in a simple and fuss-free recipe.
No photo of the actual dish. Photo first posted in IG.
Ingredients:
- several pieces of squash blossoms ( I think I used around 15 or so)
- a bunch of saluyot
- a bunch of sitao leaves
- slices of yellow fin tuna fillet, fried
Procedure:
- Fry the slices of yellow fin tuna fillet (or any other fish will do). NOTE: having the fish grilled is better.
- Boil a little water and out the fried fish fillet in.
- Put in the squash blossoms, saluyot leaves and sitao leaves and simmer for a few minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper. Some may opt to use bagoong or fish sauce. I didn’t.
That’s it, easy peasy. The youngest child didn’t like the squash blossom because she found it “weird” to eat flowers and the son didn’t like the saluyot because it was too slippery (I didn’t too when I was younger).
Despite these little setbacks, I think we are all good when this dish will be cooked again.
