Ärende: A different Squash? 1
=============================
-=> Quoting Carol Shenkenberger to All <=-

 CS> Hi, I'm looking for ideas for something different with squash.  Not
 CS> overtly complex.

 CS> My current methods are pretty much soups or baked, and sometimes
 CS> spiced and made to a pie.

I like it combined with tomatoes, cubed in vegetable stews. There
are some great Caribbean recipes. Also smaller dice with tomatoes in
soups. And that Afghani recipe for pumpkin in a sweetened tomato and
yogurt sauce that Michael posted in the past. Or baked and
slathered with salsa.

Also stuffed: ground pork and rice, quinoa with walnuts and cheese,
turkey stuffing and cranberries, crumbled cornbread with onions and
celery.
       
Baked and used as boats, filled with green vegetables such as green
peas drizzled with garlicky butter.

Peeled, chopped, boiled and pureed with cream and seasonings.

And save the seeds for roasting.

      Title: Ancient Pumpkin Seed and Tomatillo
 Categories: Native, Sauces, Nuts
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      8    Tomatillos (sub
           -green tomatoes
      3    Jalapeno peppers
      3 tb Green shelled pumpkin seeds
      1 ts Cumin
      1    Clove garlic
           Salt and pepper
    1/4    Lemon (juice)
 
  Boil tomatillos and peppers in water until they are soft, about 7
  to 10 minutes. Strain.
  
  While peppers and tomatillos cool. Grind pumpkin and cumin seeds.
  Dice garlic clove. Add ground seeds, garlic, peppers and
  tomatillos to a blender. Puree. Stir in lemon juice to taste. Salt
  and pepper.
  
  Discussion: Use this sauce on everything. I mean it. Over chicken,
  in soups, tacos, enchiladas. Great as a substitute for bar-b-que
  sauce. Also, good on fish. Try salmon sprinkled with Jamaican Jerk
  seasoning, grill. Lather with mole verde. Jill (my wife) and I
  make mole verde by the quart, with and without pumpkin seeds. To
  make mole verde without pumpkin seeds eliminate cumin and pumpkin
  seeds from the recipe.
  
  This is the best time of year to buy pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita pepo).
  Buy unsalted green seeds or whole in the shell seeds. Keep them in
  your freezer. Green pumpkin seeds are hulled and a one pound bag will
  last the uninitiated about one millennium.
  
  After roasting in the oven, pumpkin seeds are great in pumpkin pie,
  providing an alarming crunch to the unsuspecting guest who has never
  had nuts in pumpkin pie. Also, they are a nutritious fit in waffle
  and pancake mixes, bread, muffins.
  
  Sprinkle them over salads. Swirl them into chicken stir fry. With a
  little practice you can empty that one pound bag before the end of
  this millennium.
