    Yummm, I'll definitely be trying this. What are "pimientos" in the US? Here in Spain "pimiento" is simply the word for "pepper" (as in green pepper or red pepper) so I'm not really sure what type to add. Thanks so much for posting this recipe.

    I have only made it with small, yellow crookneck squash, because there is always an abundance here. I think it would be fine to use zucchini, or a mix of both. People usually comment on it, and the recipe is always requested. I have made it for years. It is very tasty.

    This sounds interesting... By yellow squash, to you mean soft-shelled (like zucchini) or hard-skinned (like acorn or pepper??) I'm assuming it's zucchini?? because of the salt-water soaking...
