Oh I've just found another positive of being an empty nester. I can play my tunes as loud as I like without them shouting 'Turn it down Maaaaaaaaam'

We all love them. I don't make them often because it takes some time to prepare them. They cook them here in a tomato based sauce. If you just cook them in the sauce, they can get mushy and split open and the seeds show and they look yucky. So to prevent that, I do the following. Clean the outside of the little cone thingey on the top - that takes forever since there are a lot of the little buggers. Then toss them with lots of vinegar and salt and spread them on a baking sheet in the sun to dry. After 2 to 3 hours in the sun, I rinse them really well and pat them dry with a towel. Then fry them until slightly brown in the deep fryer and then put them in the pot to cook with the tomato sauce which also has EVOO (of course) lots of sliced onion, garlic and chili pepper and at the end some chopped fresh parsley. Served with home-made chips and big slices of feta cheese and slabs of toasted rustic bread.

Scroll down to the second picture. The ones I get average 1-1/2 to two inches long and I cook them whole, don't cut them up.
