This was ok. I messed it up....I couldn't find hokkaido squash & when I read edible skins, I subbed zucchini. Not sure if the texture in the final dish was because of this substitution or not. It was ok; everybody ate some & most liked it but nobody ate the leftovers. I still like the idea & if i ever see a hokkaido squash, this is what I'm making with it! Made for 4/11 Aussie swap.
