| Sweet
and Sour Summer Squash
Serves 4 as a side dish
This is an easy dish to make. It takes only a few minutes
in the pressure cooker and can easily be made on the stove
top.
1 tablespoon canola oil (optional)
1 medium onion, diced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
4-6 cups summer squash, cut into
bite-sized but medium pieces
1 8 ounce can pineapple chunks
in juice
1/4 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon arrowroot mixed with
2 tablespoons water or pineapple juice
1-3 teaspoons agave
syrup or Sucanat, if needed for sweetness
Freshly ground
pepper, to taste
Heat the oil in a pressure
cooker over medium heat. Add the onion and ginger and
sauté for 3-4 minutes.
Add the squash and pineapple and stir. Add the pineapple
juice and tamari. Stir and lock the lid on. Bring to high
pressure and maintain that for 30 seconds. Quick release
the pressure, tilt the lid away from you and remove the
pressure cooker cover.
Mix the rice vinegar, arrowroot and water or juice together
in a small bowl. Stir the mixture well and add to the squash.
The sauce should thicken. Taste and add sweetener, if necessary,
and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately over rice or rice noodles.
