SPICED SUMMER SQUASH WITH GARBANZO BEANS AND BROWNED ONIONS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the squash with 1/2 tsp of salt and set on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels. Let sit for 15 minutes, then pat dry with the paper towels and cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Heat 1 1/2 tbl oil in a large (12-inch or so) skillet over med-high heat until hot, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the squash and cook, tossing occasionally, until it browns and begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium, add the remaining oil, onion, and salt; cook, stirring, until onion begins to soften and brown, about 5 minutes. Add the cumin and cinnamon, stirring until they have become fragrant. Add the tomato, garbanzo beans and 1/4 cup water, cook and stir until water is almost completely gone and tomatoes soften, about 5 minutes.
• Add the squash and cook, still stirring, so the squash is tender and picks up the flavor of the spices, about 5 minutes. Stir in half of cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle remaining cilantro upon serving.
