Pul Qua, also known as Opo Squash, is a relative of zucchini. It is milder in flavor and a more dense skin than zucchini. The skin is often peels on mature fruit, left to consume on young fruit. It may be steamed, grilled, roasted, stewed, as one would zucchini. Try stuffing them, too!
1 whole Pul Qua, halved lengthwise
1 teaspoon butter
Canela (cinnamon sticks) ground to your taste
Nutmeg, grated, to your taste
Brown sugar or grated pilocillo, to your taste
Place pul qua squash, cut side down, in a microwave-safe dish. Pierce skin with fork.
Add 1/2 - 3/4 cups water, depending on size of dish. Microwave on high for 10-12 minutes or until fork-tender.
Place on serving dish and top with butter and seasonings.
