- small squash - 2 kg;
- garlic – 1 pc.;
- salt – 4 tsp;
- horseradish - 3 pcs.;
- cherry leaves – 6 pcs.;
- black pepper (peas) – 6 pcs.;
- dill – 100 g;

Pancakes
What can you cook from squash quickly and very tasty? Of course, pancakes. They turn out so tender that they have only one drawback - they are instantly eaten by the household. Those who don’t have time may not get it.
Ingredients
- young squash - 3 pieces;
- onion – 1 piece;
- fresh dill - 1 large bunch;
- garlic cloves – 3-4 pieces;
- eggs – 2 pieces;
- white flour – 150 g;
- vegetable oil – 40-50 ml;
- ground black pepper and salt - to your taste.
Preparation
- Wash the squash and grate on a coarse grater. It’s better not to grind them in a blender, otherwise you won’t be able to squeeze the juice out of them later. You can place the grated vegetables in a colander, so that excess liquid will gradually drain from them.
- Wash the dill, dry and chop.
- Peel the onion and garlic, rinse and chop.
- Place all prepared ingredients in a bowl (squeeze the squash thoroughly before doing this). Beat the eggs, sift the flour, add pepper and salt. Mix everything well until smooth.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and use a wet spoon to spoon out the mixture like pancakes. Fry on each side until deliciously golden brown.
- Serve the pancakes with sour cream.
- Try to always choose young squash. They have a delicate skin and do not need to be peeled. If your vegetables are older, then cut off a thin layer of skin, otherwise it will be felt in the finished dish.
- To stuff squash, take any filling you can think of and prepare - various chopped and fried vegetables (eggplant, bell peppers, carrots), mushrooms, ham and cheese, rice with minced meat.
The vegetable family of the “pumpkin” genus, which has firmly settled in our beds, never ceases to amaze and delight with its diversity.

Hello, dear friends! Let's talk today about squash, a close relative of zucchini and pumpkin. Many people grow this vegetable in the garden not only because of its beneficial properties, but also because of its original shape. Gramophone-shaped fruits always look good on the table. I also planted them this year, a lot of them grew and now I have a question: how to cook squash? I had to take out my famous notebook again, look through magazines and I found a lot of interesting recipes. I share them with you.
But first, I’ll tell you where this vegetable came from and whether there are any benefits from it.
The homeland of squash, like zucchini and pumpkin, is considered to be the American continent, where it began to be grown five thousand years ago. The squash was brought to Europe from the American continent after South America became a Spanish colony. Since the 17th century, the vegetable has gained wide popularity in European countries. And two centuries later it could be found in Ukraine, and then found in Siberia.
Experts say that squash is superior in taste to its counterparts - zucchini and pumpkin. The small fruits taste like young mushrooms, and very small squash with tender and not yet roughened skin are generally considered a delicacy.
It is the young fruits that are the most tasty, healthy and nutritious. The fruit contains proteins, carbohydrates, and a small amount of fat. The calorie content of 100 grams of raw squash is no more than 20 kcal, which is useful for dietary nutrition and weight loss. In addition, there are pectin substances and sugars, and sugars are represented by fructose and glucose, which are easily absorbed in the body.
The chemical composition is also varied. This is an excellent source of mineral salts: potassium, calcium, phosphorus, sodium. Microelements include iron, cobalt, molybdenum, copper, aluminum, titanium, and zinc. Vitamins include ascorbic acid, carotene, B1 and B2. And squash contains more vitamin E than pumpkin and zucchini.

Squash. Healing properties. Recipes.
The plant of the Cucurbitaceae family is a variety of hard-barked pumpkin. The leaves are large, slightly dissected, dark green on a long petiole. The fruit is small, flattened, disc-shaped or bell-shaped with rounded-toothed edges, white, yellow, salad or green with dense white or cream pulp. Squash is cultivated in small areas in Europe and Asia, but it is most popular in the USA and Canada. It is not widely spread in the Russian Federation; it is cultivated mainly in areas provided with heat, as well as everywhere on personal plots in different zones.
Collection and storage
Usually, the fruits are picked when they have a diameter of 10-12 cm (weight 250-400 g), and for canning - with a diameter of no more than 7 cm (4-5-day-old ovaries), so that they fit whole into glass jars. Collection is carried out regularly, after 2-3 days, otherwise the flesh becomes coarser and the knees become harder. In addition, fruits left on plants longer delay the formation of new ovaries. Fruits collected in a timely manner have dense, juicy pulp, delicate skin, and the seeds are not developed. They can be stored for 4-5 days only in refrigerators.

Squash recipes are delicious and simple
Squash contributes to better absorption of protein foods, removal of harmful substances from the body, and maintenance of an alkaline blood reaction. They are recommended to be included in the menu for diseases of the cardiovascular system and digestive organs.
Almost siblings, zucchini, zucchini, and squash are identical in chemical composition. Which affects their taste. Like all pumpkin plants, to which they belong, they all have a good set of vitamins and microelements: C, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, PP, phosphorus, potassium, calcium. Plus they have an excellent perk in their arsenal: the ability to rid the body of excess moisture. Well, the low calorie content, which for squash is only 18 units, turns this product into an ideal ingredient for connoisseurs of a slim figure and a healthy lifestyle. By the way, the pumpkin vegetables listed above also remove cholesterol and salts from the body.
Most often, squash is found in recipes with these five products:
With a delicate, not yet roughened skin, squash can be added to a dish without peeling. But you need to wash it, even if it was picked from your personal garden. It is good as separate side dishes, suitable for meat and chicken. And also as an additional ingredient in a number of dishes: soups, casseroles, goulash, stews.
Question: if it tastes indistinguishable from its closest relatives, what then makes it unique? The answer is quite simple: in shape!
The bowl-shaped shape of the squash is ideal for stuffing. You don’t even need to cut it for this, as is the case with zucchini. Just cut off the top and scrape out the inside as you do with a pumpkin. You can add whatever you want inside: minced meat or chicken, cereals, legumes, mushrooms. Small vegetable sizes are suitable for portioned serving, and large ones - for general serving.
Also, squash contains more tender pulp, free from seeds, than zucchini. This makes it the best candidate for pickling and marinades - that is, for homemade preparations. Small, almost youthful squash look incredibly beautiful in 3-liter jars surrounded by cherry tomatoes and pickles.
Dishes made from squash are a storehouse of vitamins and microelements. Vegetables surprise with their original taste, interesting “plate” shape, and are perfect for a diet menu due to their low calorie content. It is important to eat only young, not overripe fruits, because they retain all their beneficial properties. But on frosty days you can treat yourself to vegetable delicacies.
We will look at what dishes can be prepared from squash in this article, and to make the task easier for you, we offer cooking options step by step and with photos.
Caviar with squash
Caviar is prepared from the following ingredients:
- plate pumpkin – 2 kg;
- tomatoes and carrots – ½ kg each;
- onion – 300 g;
- sunflower oil – 170 ml;
- salt – 30 g;
- sugar – 15 g;
- vinegar - 1 tbsp.
Vegetables are washed, peeled, and ground in a blender until pureed. The mixture is put on fire and sugar, salt, and vegetable oil are added. Simmer for 1 hour, add vinegar. Place in jars and roll up.
What and how can you cook from squash tasty and quickly?
Squash is prepared in completely different ways - they are stewed, fried, boiled, stuffed, baked, canned, and also made into caviar and even jam. This unique vegetable goes well with other products of plant and animal origin.
Celery.
Squash, like squash, can be stuffed with meat or minced meat, and then put in the oven and baked. To do this, you will need to chop half a kilo of meat, chop an onion and finely chop a clove. All components must be mixed together with the vegetable pulp and placed in a pot formed from squash.
Vegetable salad with squash
To prepare the salad take:
- plate pumpkin – 2kg;
- onion – 4 heads;
- tomatoes – 3 pcs.;
- bell pepper – 2 pcs.;
- parsley – 50 g of greens and 2 roots;
- garlic head – 1 pc.;
- sugar – 30 g;
- sunflower oil – 100 ml;
- salt – 30 g;
- vinegar – 70 ml.
Vegetables are washed, seeds and stalks are removed, and finely chopped. Add herbs, garlic gruel, salt, sugar, oil and vinegar to it. Mix thoroughly and leave for 2-3 hours. Place the mixture in sterile jars.
Cooking step by step:
To prepare this simple vegetable dish, we will need squash, wheat flour (any type), refined vegetable oil (I use sunflower) oil, garlic, salt and ground black pepper. If desired, you can supplement the list of ingredients with other aromatic additives.
For frying, I advise you to choose young and small squashes (no more than 200 grams each) - then you just need to wash them, dry them and cut them into flat pieces (about 1 centimeter thick). If you still have large fruits, peel them and remove the seeds with soft insides. Cut the pulp itself into flat slices convenient for frying.
Place the vegetable pieces in a suitable bowl, salt and pepper to taste. We also add chopped fresh garlic, in the absence of which you can easily use dried (in the form of granules). Mix everything and leave the squash to salt and soak in the aroma of garlic and pepper for 15 minutes.
After this, drain the excess liquid and bread the squash pieces on all sides in wheat flour.
Take a wide frying pan, pour vegetable oil into it and heat it well. Place breaded squash in hot oil and fry over moderate heat without a lid until the bottom side is browned.
After this, turn the pieces over and cook the second side until cooked. Do not turn the heat on high, as in this case the flour will quickly start to burn, and the vegetable pulp will not have time to soften. In this way we fry the rest of the squash.
Remove the finished pieces to a plate and serve hot immediately.
Fried squash is good on its own, but it’s even tastier served with sour cream or sour cream sauce. Fresh vegetables and herbs will also be a suitable addition to this simple and tasty dish.
