Alexandrian Squash Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Cut squash in pieces, and steam in water until cooked.
  • Press the water out of the squash and put the water into a cooking pot.
  • Make the sauce:
  • In a mortar, grind pepper, cumin, coriander, mint and ginger.
  • Combine vinegar, dates and almonds, honey, boiled wine, stock and oil (you could use butter instead of oil, if you'd rather, but olive oil is the way the Romans made it.) Blend these thoroughly.
  • Pour the sauce over the squash and bring it to a gentle boil.
  • Simmer briefly to blend the flavors.
  • Sprinkle with pepper and serve.
