HI, just wondering how to cook kamo kamo (kumi kumi).I've grown some for something different, but don't know what to do with it when it's ready :)Any suggestions!

I like it when it is picked young and sliced into 1cm rounds and steamed then put butter over and lots of salt and pepper. When it's young it's fairly similar to courgette and as it ages and is stored it becomes more like pumpkin.

Steamed is nice can be cut in slices and sauted in butter, in casseroles or stews boilups etc etc a pretty versatile vege really.

they are yum
do not peel at all or take seeds out, slice thickly and place in frypan with water (not too much you dont wanna cover it), butter, salt and pepper, put lid on - you want to steam them for a couple of mins then take lid off and keep cooking, the end reslut you want is the water to evaporate and it fry lightly golden, its yum i adore it and always eat it this way the way my Parents taught me!
