Ginataang Kalabasa (Squash with Coconut Milk)

November 14, 2018 by Manny 12 Comments

Ginataang kalabasa or squash with coconut milk is one of the simplest Filipino vegetable recipes. This recipe has more pork in it, half of the amount of squash so it is more meaty. And when selecting or buying squash, look for young squash with the greenish colored peel and not brown because it is already tough and flesh is very firm.

The young squash flesh should be yellow and a bit greenish on the edges of the peel when you slice it in half. If the flesh is dark orange, it is already mature and has lots of tough fibers. And with regard to the coconut milk, as much as possible buy them fresh which are often available in the wet market. It usually sold in small plastic bags or you can make your own by extracting the grated mature coconuts. It is a little tedious but the taste is worth the effort.
