Hi everyone,
I saw something which I haven't seen since I was a little girl..... "googootza" or cucuzza squash!
Our local fruit stand market had three left and I picked up one of these and bought it. I still don't know what I will make with this but I have been looking up recipes on the internet today.
This particular squash weighed 6 pounds. To be honest, I don't even remember how these tasted.
My parents used to grow this on their chain-link hurricane fence since it was strong enough to support the weight of this plant, especially when it started to produce squash.
We sliced it up yesterday and I only removed the seeds from about 4 of the slices. There are a LOT of seeds in these squash! For some reason, they remind me of teeth. LOL.
I don't remember how my mother would prepare her squash so I need to ask her soon. Casseroles maybe??
If anyone has any suggestions on how to cook this and growing tips for this squash, please leave me a comment below.
Have a great day and thanks for visiting my blog! :)

Selam. Türkiyede, benim yaşadığım şehirde bu kabağın adı:" uzun kabak" tır. Fotoğrafta görünenin 2-3-4 katı büyüklüğe ulaşanlar vardır:) İnce olursa çekirdeği az olur. Şimdi çok kolay bir tarif veriyorum:
ReplyDelete1- Kabuklar soyulacak
2- Çekirdekler temizlenecek
3- Kabaklar 2-3cm eninde 2-3cm boyunda doğranacak
4- 2-3 cm kadar küçük etler, önceden kavrulup pişirilecek.
5- Soğanlar küçük küçük doğranıp kavrulacak.
6- 1-2 adet sarımsak minik doğranıp soğanların içine katılacak.
7- Tencereye önce et, sonra soğanlar, sarımsaklar konulacak.
8- Kısık ateşte en üste kabaklar konulacak.
9- Tuz ayarlanacak.
10- Çok yavaş, arada karıştırarak 20-30 dakika kadar pişirilecek. Suyunu duruma göre ayarlayacaksınız.
Umarım anlaşılır cümleler kurmuşumdur. Çeviri zor oluyor, biliyorum.
Türkiyeden selamlar ve sevgiler gönderiyorum.
I've only had this sliced up into small 1/4-1/2" slices and fried up in a simple flour coating. We don't eat a lot of fried food, but this is too good not to fry up along with fried yellow squash and onions. (0:
ReplyDeleteHi Tracy,
DeleteThanks for posting this suggestion; I had not thought of frying it. We rarely ever fry anything either but this does sound good. Thanks again and thanks for visiting my blog. :)
