Tivoli Winter Squash (spagetti squash)
Comments (18)I'm still eating spaghetti squash picked last September. Most of them are about 2.5-3.0 lbs. Three hill got me about 12-14 squashes. I just cooked one, and got 1.5 lbs of squash out of it. I'm not generally a fan of winter squash, but I do eat the spaghetti variety. I have to say that I think the idea that spaghetti squash can replace pasta doesn't make much sense to me. I tried it with tomato sauce, and it just didn't work. I just eat it as a side dish - no sauces, but maybe herbs/seasonings. In spite of the fact that it kind of looks like spaghetti, it's still a winter squash, and tastes like it....See MoreWinter squash recipes
Comments (2)We learned to enjoy atole, a drink consumed in many parts of Mexico. Atole can be made of many different ingredients, such as corn starch, corn itself, sweet potato or squash. Here are two recipes for squash (or pumpkin) atole. The first makes a more traditional atole, as one might find in Mexico. The second is our own creation, Americanized to taste like pumpkin pie. George Tahlequah, OK _______________________________ Recipe for Atole de Calabaza (squash atole) - Cut chunks of winter squash into your pot so that they fit. I left the shell on them and scooped the flesh off after cooking. - Add sufficient water to boil/steam the squash. - Add molasses and some cinnamon to the water and squash in the pot, so that the solution will be sweet to taste when finished. - Cover on low flame and cook till tender. - Remove shell from chunks and return the flesh to the pot. - Transfer squash and molasses solution to a blender, add a few "glugs" of milk to each blender full and blend to get rid of strings and chunks. How much you blend is up to you. IÂve had squash atole that had chunks, strings and entire seeds in it, and it was delicious. Our family prefers to blend it to a uniform smoothness. At this time you taste it and add additional sweetener if necessary. The amount I make takes several blender-fulls to finish, as I make about 2 quarts. - Enjoy! Something that is really good is to dip pieces of French bread or hard roll into the atole as you eat/drink it. _______________________________ Americanized Pumpkin Atole To a blender add: 1 egg a few glugs of molasses some sugar (brown or white) 2 cups of cooked squash ¼ teaspoon nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon ginger ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional  2 or 3 tablespoons of peanut butter - Milk (fill the remaining space in the blender with milk, leaving just a little space at the top. - Blend this all up and taste to see if it needs more sweetening. - Pour the mix into a pot and heat until just boiling. - Serve...See MoreSquash Recipe Urgently Needed Tonight's Dinner!
Comments (25)Patrina, I really do live a pretty Spartan existence...don't think I could afford a dehydrator and severe doubts as to whether my solar power could drive one anyway... My dehydrator consists of 2 framed flyscreens, sandwiching the preferred produce, left atop an old 44 gallon drum outside in a Mudgee Summer...successful last year with about 5 kilos of tomatoes and 3 shoe-boxes full of dried chillies! Like you, I have one litre bottles of olive oil, one each with chillies, toms, rosemary, garlic...another with garlic and fetta cheese (yum!). The sqash are outside sunning themselves as we speak...and wouldn't you know it, thunderstorms predicted for next 4 days! Still, rather have the rain than the dehydration (cough, cough...). Regards, Shax...See MoreSmall scale chicken disaster/ need sase winter and summer squash
