ready for the cut-up
Thank you,
these are Hokaido type squashes and are excellent for soups and other cooked dishes.
Cooking is not difficult when you work with natural ingredients,
Forget about recipes,
Remove the seeds inside, skin the squashes, cut them in smaller chunks and pieces.
Big pot, put a kettle for at least 1 liter ,2 pints, of water on.
I put strips of soaked kombu, this for stock, but you can use also stock from beef or whatever you like, on the bottom,
then the vegetables, i added onions, carrots, leeks, and ginger, bay leaves.
Pour in the boiling water from the kettle on top the vegetables,
and let it simmer until all vegetables are tender,
now add the salt not before.
Serve with freshly ground black pepper, and i use original, not the commercial, soysauce or shoyu,
for some extra flavour.
Please enjoy.
Aside one litre of water is probably not enough so you add more until all ingredients in the pot are well covered:).
