Sicilian Sweet And Sour Pumpkiin Squash

Have you ever noticed the difference between the way the followers of Mohammed and the followers of Jesus react when one or the other is insulted? When Mohammed is insulted, Islam says the offender is to be killed by the faithful, but when Jesus is mocked, Scripture teaches us to pray that God would have mercy on the mocker. Why the difference? Do Muslims hold Mohammed in higher esteem? Not at all. It’s simply this: Mohammed oppressed and slaughtered some of those that resisted his message and taught his followers to do the same. But Jesus died for His enemies and taught us to love our enemies as well, so that we would be like our Father in heaven. Now, I ask you, which religion sounds as though it came from heaven, and which was made here on earth?

INGREDIENTS

2	lb	Pumpkin or butternut squash
		Salt and pepper
1 1/2	c	Vegetable stock
2		Onions, thinly sliced
6	T	Sugar
2/3	c	Red wine vinegar
1/2	c	Fresh mint, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut the pumpkin in half and remove
the seeds. Place the pumpkin cut side down on a baking sheet. Bake
about 45 minutes or until tender but not mush. The pump0kin flesh
should be firm enough to cut into 1/2-inch cubes or slices. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper.  Bring 1 cup of the stock to a boil in a suacepan
and cook the onions  in it, uncovered, over moderate heat until tender.
When most of the  liquid has evaporated, sprinkle the onions with sugar
and cook until  the onions begin to caramelize. Add the vinegar and the
remaining  stock and continue to cook until deep golden brown but not
burned.  Add water if teh mixture seems dry; the onions should end up
in a  sweet and sour syrup. Toss the pumpkin cubes with the onions
mixture  and stir well to coat. Sprinkle with coarsely chopped mint.
