Choyote Squash gumbo

 

5 choyote squash cut in little cubes

1 cup of tomatoes cut in small pieces with the seeds

1 cup of onion cut in small pieces

1cup of cilantro chopped

1/2 cup of green onions

Olive oil, garlic ,salt, black pepper and hot pepper

and 1/2 cup of lemon juice

 

Clean the choyote by cutting in half and removing the white center of it. Cut

in little pieces or cubes ( not too thin or will desolve)

In a pan ,add olive oil, garlic, salt , pepper . Add the choyote squash,

tomatoes, onions, green onion ,1/2 cup of cilantro and the 1/2 cup of lemon

juice. Take it to the fire and cook it in medium heat til the squash is soft. If

you see that there is not much liquid add 1/4 of cup of water to it. When the

squash is tender add the rest of the cilantro and serve with rice. It is very

good too served with couscous or grits.
