Hi Andy, winter squashes last a long time, sometimes months in the perfect conditions. I don’t know how fresh it was when you bought it but if it’s still firm and doesn’t have any yucky spots, it should be fine.

I’ve had my carny squash outside as a decorative veggie… do you think if its been out there a week I can still cook it?

Laurie, that sounds like a tasty filling, for emapanadas or Carnival Squash. Send over some pics.

I came across this recipe while searching for something to do with the carnival squash that I got at my local farm (CSA). I love the fact that I’m forced to try new things, but sometimes the more obscure foods don’t have many recipes to be found. This one sounds great and made me think that it might be yummy with a chicken stuffing that echoes the stuffing I put in my empanadas. Chicken, onions, monterey jack(to hold it together), allspice, cumin, cayene (for a little heat),and chopped raisins (for a little sweet). I think that the cayene and raisins would play off the sweetness of the carnival squash. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Kylee, I agree. I would cook it differently though. I would cook the filling like a chili and let it stew longer so that the beans can really get flavor.

Looks great!
I think adding some black beans to that would be tasty too.

Kelley, I like squash a lot too, but the lesser known squashes don’t have many recipes out there so I’m going to have to repair that.

Grace, it is such a glorious natural sweetness.

yum! carnival squash is one of the sweeter varieties that i’ve tried, so i like it more than most. that balanced with your spices and the chicken would make an amazing dish!
