Stewed Pumpkin

1. 1

   Heat a large heavy saucepan over medium heat and add the butter.

2. 2

   Add the calabaza and garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring once.

3. 3

   Add the water, cover the pan, and reduce the heat to low.

4. 4

   Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes more, or until the squash is only just tender, stirring the mixture occasionally so that it doesn't stick.

5. 5

   Add the green onions, salt, pepper, and chile, and stir to mix.

6. 6

   Cook uncovered for 3 to 5 minutes more.

7. 7

   Serve warm.

8. 8

   Note: Calabaza is West Indian cooking pumpkin, sold in very large slices since the whole vegetable is too large for most families.

9. 9
