Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

1 tablespoon cooking oil

2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed, crushed

1 green onion, sliced
1 teaspoon snipped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 medium tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
directions
In a medium skillet heat oil, cook squash, peppers, garlic, and cumin, uncovered, for 8 minutes or until squash is tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, let cool.
Combine squash mixture with peas, green onion, cilantro, and salt. Cover and chill 4 to 24 hours. Toss tomato wedges with chilled pea and squash mixture before serving.
cook's notes
Because hot peppers contain oils that can burn eyes, lips, and sensitive skin, wear plastic gloves while preparing them and be sure to wash hands thoroughly afterward.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

We liked this recipe quite a bit. It's healthy and flavorful. Definitely let it chill for at least 4 hours to fully blend the flavors.
