My First Published Recipe – Squash Supreme

The Squash Supreme

Hello everyone, I created this recipe because I wanted bursting flavor when I placed the fork/spoon-ful into my mouth…..and wanted to say WOW, OMG…..And this is exactly what I got….It was just so amazing….when my husband came home and tasted it…..well I had made enough for two or three meals….and when I was going to put the left over in a container…..there was about 1 tablespoon left…..My husband said he left some for me for tomorrow…..Ho,Ho,Ho….

 

So here are the ingredients for the Squash Supreme….and since this is the first time I have written down my ingredients (usually without measuring) and my notes to guide me by….

When cooking my meals, many times I will use my electric wok because easy, temperature is constant….

 

 

SQUASH SUPREME

3 servings

 

1 zucchini chopped into bite size pieces

1 yellow squash chopped into bite size pieces

Large handful of fresh spinach

½ can diced tomatoes (I use hunts no salt added Basil, garlic, oregano)

½ cup uncooked brown rice (the ratio of rice to water is 1 to 3)

When cooking you might have to add more water if it becomes too thick with the cooking of the rice

Add 1/c cup Kitchen Basics Vegetable Broth

 

Begin cooking on medium then go to medium low….

 

In a separate bowl – combine the following to make the sweet & sour sauce

¼ to 1/2 cup brown sugar

½ to ¾ cup ketchup

1 T Coconut aminos (I do not use soy sauce any more)

½ to ¾ cup fresh chopped pineapple chuncks

 

When the rice is almost cooked add in the sweet & sour sauce and reduce the liquid by cooking with the lid off…..

 

When I tasted this amazing dish it was bursting with flavor…..

Grew up in Key West, and learned to cook there from my dad who was from Louisiana - great gravy maker....Moved north to Lake Worth in 1971, married my husband of 44 years Ken in 1972; we have 3 children all grown, and 2 grandchildren....Cooking was always a passion with me, and when our oldest was about 3 years old and I discovered Fr. Feingold's book...I began to make everything fresh including my breads.... My first bread was like a brick and it felt like one, so very heavy and when I had dropped it, it chipped, really chipped a piece off if it....So I went to Publix to get frozen bread dough to see what it felt like so I have some idea....That was the beginning to all whole foods, and making the best for my family..... Now I am a Vegan after a 3 year journey to "clean" up my act and get healthier in my "younger" years....And I have never felt happier, healthier, and love cooking even more than ever.....because I am sharing my recipes....
