New Mexico-Style Calabacitas

Calabacitas made with yellow crookneck squash

A spicy Mexican style dish, the original recipe called for green summer squash, but I've found that yellow squash, zucchinis, or pretty much any other summer squash works equally well.

New Mexico Style Calabacitas

Prep Time: 10 min. | Oven: N/A | Cook Time: 15 min | Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 4 medium-sized zucchinis/summer squash cubed

  1. Heat the oil in a skillet and sauté the zucchini, chilies, garlic and onion in it until tender, about ten minutes.
  2. Add the corn, salt and milk, simmer 10 minutes and serve.

I'm Sage's wife and the real person in charge of Sage's Acre. He gets the yard, I get the house and the kitchen (unless I need him to do something in the house). I love making comfort food and baking, especially bread. I have no special training, but I did raise a herd of children and burned plenty before I perfected my technique. I love the simple, practical and homegrown. I also have a weakness for dachshunds (don't judge!).
