ingredients

4 small zucchini squash
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter or oil
1 cup unsalted peanuts, raw or roasted, completely ground

directions

The use of zucchini in this recipe reflects a French influence.

Simmer whole squash in about half a cup of salted water until very tender, 10 - 12 minutes. Combine squash and butter, and process or mash to a smooth consistency. Top with nuts.

Variation: When zucchini is tender, drain and slice it, gently stir in butter, and top with nuts.
