  1. Looks good...I imagine the nuttiness of the squash pairs perfectly with the nuttiness of the peanuts. Sounds similar to the squash with tahini sauce (tahini+soy sauce+sriracha) that we have on a regular basis.

  3. This is sooo salty! My recommendation would be cut back the salt by a lot. I couldnt even eat it, it was too salty.
