recently came into possession of large quantities of those funny looking cucumbers, doesn't seem like I'll be able to resell them soon. any suggestions on what the fuck to do with them? I was thinking maybe drill into them and stick them with rice and minced meat but what do I do with their insides
Calabacita/calabcín are safe to eat raw as long as you rinse them thoroughly since the rind is sticky. Peel it or don't, it's up to you and your digestive system. I peel them, cut into medallions, and steam with a potato and carrot and eat with a side of scrambled eggs.
>>22030002okay that's practical and sounds pretty good, thank you kind sir
I cook them in the oven.First you cut them in half and take out all the seeds and soft flesh (not the more hardy flesh) with a spoon.Then you sautee some meat or tuna with onions and garlic, maybe some cherry tomatoes too, making a mince to fill the pumpkin(its a kind of pumpkin). Then you fill the voided pumpking halfs with the mix. Finally you make a bechamel sauce in a pot, then cover the mix with it without overfilling.Put in the oven for 30 min (I dont know at what temperature, mine is gas) and voila, you have pumpkin lasagna.
>>22029995never got the guts to try this but maybe you'll be a stronger man than meUhttps://youtu.be/jrASoJ6fZyY
cram
>>22029995Besides using as dildos, obviously, you can slice them and fry them with some onions and maybe some other vegetables or just baking them as a vegetable casserole of sorts.
Moussaka with zucchini instead of eggplant is quite nice. Unlike with eggplant you don't need to salt and fry them.If you have large grown out zucchini you can also make cordon bleu with them.
>>22030052>cordon bleu op wants to use up a large amount of zuccthis is a way to take a small amount of zucc and stretch it out until it's 5000 kcal
>>22029995If you call these anything other than gray squash than we can't be friends.
>>22030063They come in cases that say like four different things at my store: calabeza, Mexican, white or Grey squash.
You can also fry them, very nice.
>>22030071Or make Kolokithokeftedes
>>22030064>>22030063Squash is squash. This particular cultivar is cheap as fuck when it's in season.
>>22030071>>22030078Came here to post both of theseSeriously couple them with some tzatziki or some garlic mayo and cram them like crazy
>>22029995>what do i do with their insidesthe cores are 99% water and not very flavorful. you can toss them bitches right in the trash
>>22029995You can pickle/lactoferment then. They get a really nice crunchy texture.You can park bake a bunch and free portions.
Chop em up and bake with onion, mushroom, garlic and Kalamata olive; for a nutritious and delicious vegetable side to go with your meat of choice.
>>22030889Oh also tomato, preferably whole cherry
>>22029995>any suggestions on what the fuck to do with them?
i put them in spicy veggie gnocchi, make sauce out of sour cream/creme freche and chili paste and toss whatever else in and voila
