I made this recipe for a party (doubled it) and it was great. I used a variety of kinds of squash and just cut them into bite-sized chunks. The marinade is very flavorful and the red onions turned out particularly luscious!

Grilling underscores the earthiness of the cumin and coriander, and enhances the nuttiness of this summer squash. Use white, orange, or yellow pattypan squash for the most colorful skewers.
