| Cook pork in oil over a medium heat. When pork is cooked stir in the onion, bell pepper for a couple of minutes. Put meat mixture into a 4 1/2 qt. pot. Next add salt, pepper, cumin and garlic. Add water. Cut the corn off the cobs and add to the mixture. Add Tatuma squash. Simmer for 20 minutes. Occasionally, stirring. Let stand for another 20-30 minutes. The cooking process will continue, steaming the vegetables. You can use any squash for this Mexican stew. The Tatuma will cook firmer. Some prefer their squash to be very soft and fall apart. In that case, use zucchini or yellow squash. Serve with a corn or flour tortilla! Fall is a great time to use fresh squash(calabaza). This is a very forgiving recipe. Make it your own and enjoy! |
