Equipment

1 larger saucepan
1 grater

Ingredients

1.2 kg summer squash 42 oz, tatuma or Mexican squash
400 g chopped tomatoes one can
½ bunch dill fresh, chopped
100 ml water ½ cup, hot water
2 tablespoon sugar granulated
1 teaspoon sea salt kosher
1 tablespoon vinegar wine vinegar
1 tablespoon vegetable mix for soups
50 ml sunflower oil 3.5-4 tbsp

Instructions

Cut the heads of the squash first and then peel it with a vegetable peeler.
If the pumpkins are more mature and have the seeds already formed, we will first remove them with a spoon. If not, just cut them in half.
Pass them through the large grater and put them in a larger bowl.
In a larger saucepan or a pot, heat the sunflower oil and put all the grated squash in it to fry.
Mix with a wooden spoon, add the warm water and leave to soak for about 3-4 minutes on medium heat.
Add the chopped tomatoes from the can. Then add the chopped dill and season with sugar, wine vinegar, sea salt and vegetable mix for soups.
Simmer everything over medium to low heat for about 30 minutes.
Taste and if necessary you can add more sea salt.
It can be served in different ways as a side dish, with a little sour cream on top and with breaded pork chops or meatballs.

Notes

If you use frozen squash, thaw it first and drain any excess water before adding it to the pot. The cooking time may be a little shorter since frozen vegetables are often partially cooked already.

You can use other types of summer squash like zucchini or yellow squash. The flavor and texture will be very similar.
