Ingredients
Squash.   Whichever variety is your
favorite, diced into one inch cubes.
3 pounds
Fresh tomatoes (we like Roma)
diced into one inch cubes.
1 pound
Yellow onion, coarsely chopped. 1 cup
Fresh celery diced
into quarter inch cubes.
1/2 cup
Celery tops and
leaves, finely chopped.
1/2 cup
Fully cooked, grilled pork chops
(or steak) diced into half inch cubes.
1 to 2 pounds
Water. 1 cup
Knuckle Donnys seasoning 2 tablespoons
Freshly ground comino
seeds (cumin).
1 teaspoon
Garlic granules (or powder) 1 teaspoon
Olive oil 1/4 cup

Combine water and meat in a sauce pan, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until meat is tender (about half an hour).   Remove from heat and set aside.

In a large skillet, over medium heat, combine oil, onions and diced celery.   Saute for five minutes.   Add meat, squash, all seasonings and stir in half-cup of broth or water.   Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.   Squash should be done while retaining a firm texture.   Stir in tomatoes and celery tops and leaves, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated.   Remove from heat and serve.
