Stuffed Squash Blossoms and Catfish

Cajun French:  le cachat (lu ka-sha) – squash

 

Spring time means squash blossoms!

We get excited when squash blossoms are available at the farmers market.  They are fragile flowers yet so much fun to cook with.  The first ones of the season are always for stuffing.  Unlike most recipes, we do not batter and deep fry; we stuff and pan fry.  Pan frying allows the flavor of the squash and its flower to blossom to its fullest flavor.

Squash Blossoms

The process is time consuming although fun when done with another person.
