Preparation
Clean unpeeled squash and slice into 1/4-inch rings. Remove seeds and pulp. Stack two to three rings at a time and dice in quarters. Clean and dice other vegetables.
Heat a heavy skillet or wok to medium high. Add oil and diced onions, peppers and squash and saute for five minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and tomatoes and saute for five minutes more.
Rub dried herbs in palm of hand and add, together with frozen shelled soybeans. Stir and cover for five minutes.
Add salt and pepper and minced fresh parsley. Serve at once on hot corn polenta, cooked rice or pasta — generously topped with crumbled feta cheese.
A salad of crisp, mixed dark greens, splashed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and a slice of warmed rosemary bread makes this a perfect meal.
