SUMMER ESSENTIALS: SQUASH, ONIONS, AND BURGER



Summer Essentials: Squash, Onions, and Burger image

My farmer friend brought over some nice yellow squash, and said, Surprise me. And, by 2:00a, I was sitting outside enjoying a wonderful bowl of Summer squash with onions, and beef (I did not eat dinner, so I was entitled). An excellent dish that totally satisfies, and if you want to make it a side dish, just leave out the beef. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen

Number Of Ingredients 15

PLAN/PURCHASE
4 ounce(s) ground chuck
1 large yellow squash, peeled and diced
1/2 large yellow onion, peeled and sliced into halfmoons
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil, extra virgin variety
SPICE SUGGESIONS
salt, kosher variety, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
red pepper flakes, to taste
cayenne pepper, to taste
garlic powder, to taste
OPTIONAL ITEMS
parmesan cheese, for topping
a few slices of crusty, buttered bread
a nice chardonnay

Steps:

  • PREP/PREPARE
  • I do not usually cook with extra virgin olive oil; however, this is a low-heat situation, and I like the flavor the olive oil imparts to this recipe.
  • Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • Add the olive oil to a skillet over medium-low heat, and then add the beef.
  • Chef's Note: Do not completely break up the beef, leave it in chunks.
  • Throw in the onions, then add a bit of salt, and pepper.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Cook an additional 5 minutes, until they start to brown.
  • While the onions and beef are cooking, add some spices. I made some suggestions in the ingredient list; however, add whatever you feel like. For example, in the Summer I go easy on the hot spices; but in the Winter, I kick up the heat level.
  • Add the squash, and combine with the other ingredients.
  • Add about a tablespoon of water to the pan, then cover, and allow to steam for about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the cover, and continue to stir, until the squash softens, about 5 minutes.
  • In this final cooking phase, check the spices, and add more... or not.
  • PLATE/PRESENT
  • Serve with a sprinkle of freshly grated parmesan, and a few pieces of crusty buttered bread. Enjoy.
  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
