Guest guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Here's a recipe to try: 1 large avocado, preferably Hass 2 t lime juice 1 small ripe tomato, very finely chopped 2 T finely minced onion 1 jalapeno or Serrano chili, seeded, finely minced 1 small clove garlic, finely minced Salt About 20 Nasturtium blossoms 1 small jicama Lime juice Peel the avocado and remove the pit. Mash the avocado in a bowl with a fork and add the 2 teaspoons of lime juice. Blend in the tomato, onion, chili, and garlic. Add salt to taste. Let the guacamole stand, covered, while preparing the nasturtiums and jicama. Rinse the nasturtiums carefully and pat them dry. Pell the jicama and slice it about 1/4 " thick. Cut the slices into pieces about 2 by 2 inches. They don't have to be perfectly square -- leave the edges rounded. They should be just the right size to accommodate a nasturtium filled with guacamole. Squeeze a little lime juice over the jicama slices. At this point, the guacamole, jicama and the nasturtiums can be kept for a few hours in the refrigerator, if necessary. To assemble the appetizers, hold the nasturtiums at the base and use a teaspoon to fill them carefully with the guacamole. Set each filled nasturtium on a slice of jicama and arrange on a serving platter. The prepared appetizers can be kept very briefly in the refrigerator or served immediately.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Nasturtium is one of those flowers where you can eat every part of it: the leaves, the flowers AND the seeds. (The seeds are what we know as " capers " .) I cannot get my family to try them. They're SUCH stick-in-the-muds. Giselle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
