I have two cucuzzi in the oven right now. Nope, not baking them..just stuck them in their diagonally so they'd fit to make them "disappear".
I need to decide how to cook them. I've run out of people to whom I can give them. They sure make a few servings, don't they?
And I haven't tried doing the tenerumi of the cucuzzi yet, either.
BTW, I think I have no new flowers on my cucuzzi right now, and only "boys" on my Trom's. I wonder if it's cyclical? I do have some tiny trom's, not yet big enough to flower. Guess I need to save some pollen for germnation for when that happens.My one tiny cucuzza that is up has not popped the seed husk thingy off yet. I am always tempted to "help" them, but have restrained myself.
Do report back on how your Kim D's Italian Stew turns out.
It was DELICIOUS! I added just over half the water (she said 6 cups), but I filled my 28 oz tomato can with water to get all the tomato juice out & it was perfect for me. I doubled the garlic ‘cause I like it, added some eggplant. I also put a little Louisiana Hot Sauce on it in the bowl & just a tiny sprinkle of koscher salt (didn’t cook with any). Love it - want to try it over some brown rice.
The T’s seem cyclical to me - had all boys, now a bunch of girls. No cucuzza blooms except male - very disappointing.
