 Mike Thies (Missouri) says:
The is absolutely delicious and easy to make. It scales up easily to steam pan size for large gatherings. People who tell me they hate squash love this dish!

Be certain to remove the seedy core from larger squash before boiling. I add about a teaspoon of salt to the water used for boiling with more additional in the mix. Fresh tarragon is a nice addition. I also add Turkish pül biber and isot the closest substitute for which is some crushed red pepper.
