The Sasquash was a giant winter squash given to us by our friends Al and Christl. I defrosted a bag of it — about 2 cups, cubed — and stewed it with onions, green chiles, chipotle, and tomatoes. I browned a cut-up chicken and braised it in the stew. It was pretty good, but it needs work. I’ll get it right next time.
