Utensils Used
| 1. Hack squash open using a big broad knife--and WORK at it to divide it in half lengthwise. | 2. Scoop out the seeds. | 3. Place on baking sheet or big baking dish, turned over. Pierce the skin all over with a fork. Bake at about 375 or 400 degrees F for about 40 - 45 minutes. Remove squash halves from the oven. Using your baking mits, turn squash over, and if it's just right you should be able to scrape the innards with a spoon and the squash will come out sort of like noodles--really more like slaw. | 4. Heat some oil in a sizable skillet (large enough so that you can eventually mix in the squash with the other ingredients. Add ingredients in any order that makes sense to you. For me, taking my cue from Indian cookbooks, I typically sizzle up the spicy ingredients with the seeds and nuts first--browning them together and flavoring the oil. Next I add the onions and jalapenos and let them reduce/brown. Then add the garlic and the Chili Garlic sauce (and/or the lime or lemon juice). Toss in the black beans and the cilantro leaves, and mix / heat thoroughly. | 5. Toss in the spaghettified squash, mix thoroughly. Serve in bowls topped with the corn chips. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
