Mexican Grey Squash - Calabacitas







Well, it's not grey, but it is Mexican and it is squash, so I guess two out of three isn't bad. Mexican grey squash is a summer squash that, like zucchini, is available all year long. In the southwest, it is widely available at both ethnic and national chain markets, sometimes for as little as 50 cents a pound. In taste and texture it's very similar to zucchini, and the two can substitute for each other in most dishes. In Spanish, I've seen it referred to as both calabacitas and calabaza gris mexicana.
