Edible parts

Fruits

Recipe idea for your 'Buttercup Coureuse' squash harvest. Turn the squash flesh into soup. Cut the fruit with a suitable knife on a stable board, remove the seeds, and scoop out the flesh. Sauté an onion in a pot with a little oil, then add the pieces of squash. Pour in enough broth to just cover the vegetables and let simmer until the flesh is tender. Blend while adding the liquid gradually to adjust the thickness. A small diced apple can accompany sweet-fleshed squash. When serving, add a spoonful of plain yogurt, pepper, and a few fresh herbs according to your taste. The size of the pieces influences the cooking time more than their exact shape. Check several pieces before removing the pot from the heat, especially if the harvest includes fruits of different sizes. Moist flesh sometimes requires a bit more evaporation; denser flesh may require more liquid.
