This is a wonderful dish! Instead of adding one minced garlic clove to the cooked squash and yogurt, I put 2 cloves in when the squash was cooking, then just mashed it up when I mashed the squash. A generous dash of pepper finished this off perfectly. Tasted great right after I made it but was really terrific about an hour later, after the flavors had a chance to blend. Served with some baked pita chips and loved this - thanks for sharing the recipe!

Broiled is incorrect in the title. But this is delicious and wonderful because I used what I had left from stuffing baby zucchini! I used the innards plus the tops with some flesh which I had cut off the day before. I just drained it all and boiled in a little water separately. I used Balkan (thick) yogurt, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, unrefined extra virgin olive oil, flat leaf parsley, plus the garlic clove.

I'm not sure how I'd serve this as a side dish as it's more of a dip or condiment. Very interesting flavors. This would be a great compliment to a spicy curry dish. Thanks, Pali! Made for Best of 2011 Cookbook tag game as recommended by Loof..
