my favorite summer squash recepie is
2 small zuchinni peeled cut in coins
2 small yellow summer squash washed skin on cut in coins
1 large can stewed tomatoes
1 medium onion diced
1 clove garlic minced
1 green pepper chopped
olive oil
pinch of red pepper flakes
pinch of sugar
salt to taste
sautee onions & garlic in olive oil when they become translucent add the can of tomatoes and squash simmer untill squash is softened,(bout 15 minutes) add green pepper red pepper flakes salt & sugar simmer for another 5 minutes serve over rice or noodles... kinda like a rattattoulie without the eggplant... my kids call it "yoda stew" because it reminds them of what yoda served to luke skywalker in star wars the empire strikes back... serves 4
my favorite winter squash recipie is what i call "three sisters soup"
1 butter nut squash halved & seeded
2 pats of butter
Tblsp of brown sugar
pinch of nutmeg
can of coconut milk
can of great northern beans drained & rinsed
can of sweet corn drained & rinsed
2 cups veggie stock or water
roast the butternut squash face up with a pat of butter in each seed cavity at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes add sugar & nutmeg & continue roasting untill fork tender
allow the squash to cool enough to handle scoop out the flesh into a blender add cocout milk and veggie stock salt pepper blend untill it is a creamy consistancy. transfer to a stock pot or large sauce pan, add corn & beans, heat simmer untill beans & corn are heated.
if you replace the butter with canola oil this one is vegan and a complete protien and it is crazy good!
serves 4
