Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 yellow onions

1 butternut squash

- or hikedo or pumpkin or acorn

- or any winter squash

toasted sesame oil

1/2 cup cooked hiziki -- to 1 cup

- optional

touch tamari

 

Do this in a wok or deep cast iron pot. Pour in the oil and let it

start to get hot. Slice the onions into thin crescents and add to

oil. Toss barely and go to the squash. Cut in half and scoop out the

seeds an pulp. When the onions are transparent add the squash all at

once. Toss barely again, making sure the flame is low. Drizzle a

little tamari over the top and add a little more oil if it is

starting to stick. Don't cover this, it takes awhile for it to

cook.The squash should be very soft and almost roasted. If you are

using seaweed, wakame, arame, and hiziki are all good. Just cook

first and add to the squash during the second half of cooking time.

 

PS This should cook slowly and stay juicy; if it starts to stick and

you don't want to use more oil, dilute a little tamari in water and

pour over top (no more than about 1/4 cup of liquid though).

NOTES : This recipe is credit to the phrase " give me the simple

life " . It is easy, and the taste is truly unbeatable. The onions and

squash get sweeter and sweeter as they cook. Don't feel you have to

put the seaweed in, but why not?/? Even devout seaweed haters have

loved this at my house. This is something that really hits the spot

when you are hungry for real food.
