Squash with Peanuts

This recipe comes from Chad; Peanuts are a common ingredient in Chadian cuisine.

What you need

• oil
• two to three pounds summer squash (cut into cubes) or zucchini (sliced)
• three cups shelled roasted peanuts; crushed or coarsely chopped
• salt to taste
• one teaspoon brown sugar or white sugar (optional)

What you do

• Heat a spoonful of oil in a large skillet. Cook squash until it begins to become tender, stirring often; about five to ten minutes. (Or cook squash in one cup of boiling water. Drain excess water before adding peanuts.) Squash can be mashed if desired.
• Add peanuts, salt, and sugar. Reduce heat. Simmer until squash is tender and flavors have mingled, about five minutes. Serve hot.
