STEWED SUMMER SQUASH AND ONIONS



Stewed Summer Squash and Onions image

This isn't a recipe as much as a method of cooking summer squash. I gave amounts but treat it more as a ratio than a rule- allow at least one squash per serving because it cooks down to a very small amount even though it looks like you are cooking a lot.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 summer squash (zucchini works but I prefer yellow)
1 large onion, diced
3 tablespoons butter
water
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Slice squash as thinly as possible- I use a mandoline to do this quickly.
  • Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add squash and onions and season then cover with water.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally until water evaporates.
  • Can be eaten at this point, but I like to cook it until it is almost brown, you just have to stir very frequently because it will stick pretty bad. Cooking it a long time will caramelize the vegetables and it becomes a sweet side dish. Warning- it isn't pretty, but it is tasty!
  • Make this into a main dish by adding chunks of ham during cooking. Also delicious!

I hesitated to post this recipe because it is so simple. But I didn't see anything like it on recipezaar, so here it is. It uses up things that are often in abundance in the garden, and is really simple and quick...bringing out the best flavors of the vegetables.
