If you have a lot of squash in your garden, you can make this popular Ukrainian dish Squash Paste or Squash Caviar. This classic recipe originated back from Soviet times.
Squash Caviar (Kabachkova Ikra in Ukrainian) was one of the most popular canned vegetables that you could buy in the store during Soviet time. It was cheap and always available. The squash caviar is still one of the most favorite foods in Ukraine.
Squash Caviar is great warm as a side dish or cold as a dip or spread.
