Fake-a-mole

Feeling like you want to make guacamole but wanting to keep it local? Try this!

• 1 1/2 pounds summer squash or zucchini (or both), cut into large chunks

• 1/2 bunch garlic scapes, tips and woody ends removed, and then cut into 2-3 inch chunks

• 1/2 bunch parlsey or cilantro

• 2-3 TBSP lime juice

• 1-2 small tomatoes, cut into chunks (optional)

• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, completely optional

• 3 TBSP olive oil

• salt

Put the olive oil, salt, and summer squash or zucchini on a baking tray and roast slow and low until good and soft. (The longer it goes, the sweeter it seems to get.) When they have fully cooked, put aside and let them cool to room temperature. When that has cooled, blend the roasted veggies with garlic scapes, parsley or cilantro, lime juice, and optional cheddar cheese until smooth. Put in a service bowl, and gently fold in the chopped tomatoes, and add salt and lime juice as needed.
