I tried Calabacitas, another recipe I could make with my zucchini.

This was a very simple recipe. I used 4 cups of diced zucchini rather than half zucchini and half summer squash, and one diced poblano. This was very fast and easy to make.

We had this as a main dish on tostadas. I thought it was very spicy. I enjoyed them, and thought it was a nice change of pace. [Alex said that he enjoyed them fine, but would have liked it if they had had meat in them. Silly Alex.] Give this recipe a try, because it was simple and healthy. Just be sure you’ve got something to balance the heat from the pepper you use.
