  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/2  lbs           zucchini squash
   1      medium        onion -- chopped
   2      tablespoons   shortening
   2      cloves        garlic -- minced
   1 1/2  cups          canned tomatoes -- drained
                        salt to taste
   2      teaspoons     cumin seeds
   2                    hot chili peppers

Wash squash, cut into 1 inch cubes. Saute onion in shortening until 
clear, add  squash and remaining ingredients. Bring to boil, reduce 
heat to simmer, and cook until done, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Tootie Notes: you see the 1-that means we have several variations. 
One that is pretty good is to brown 1 lb ground beef, pour the 
mixture over this, top with cheddar cheese, shredded and put in oven 
until cheese is melted. There are other Calabaza variations.
