Calabacitas
Calabacitas are are the perfect side of squash and corn that will go with just about any New Mexican dish and will pair perfectly with chile.
Squash and Pistachio Crumble
It tastes like apple pie, but screams summer with its bright notes of lemon. Even people who snub their nose at squash will have smiles on their faces. I argue that this dish is more American than apple pie because apples are not native to North America and squash is.
Stuffed Acorn Squash with Sausage and Apples
It’s savory with the meatiness of pork and mushrooms yet the sweetness of apples compliments the pepper. The sausage has crunchy bits that round out the custardy sweet squash flesh.
Ginger Spaghetti Squash with Orange Zest and Browned Butter
This spaghetti squash is bright, light, and bold with ginger, orange zest, and browned butter. It plays well with a simply seasoned broiled fish.
Mirliton and Sausage Soup
Mirliton and sausage soup is light enough to start a meal with, but rich enough to comfort the soul.
