"On behalf of Expert Village this is Lizbeth Muller. Today I'm going to teach you how to make chicharros which is split pea soup. I'm starting to cut up my squash, I'm going to cut the back part of the squash. I have cleaned out the middle part with the seeds and the stuff that is very stringy. I still have some stringy stuff left on it but I'm going to continue to clean that and I'm going to cut down that part like this and then place it in the bowl. So I can place in the pan, in the pot. So I'm going to cut this up a little bit more, just a little bit more. Again I'm going to take this part here and remove it. You want to remove it like that and I want to cut the back part off, just cutting it off. The skin of the squash and even the pumpkin and butternut squash they are very thick so you have to kind of have to cut them like this and try to remove it the best that you can. You can remove it without cutting yourself. I just like to lay it down like that. "
