SUMMER SQUASH WITH DILL



Summer Squash With Dill image

Very easy, very tasty. Good even for those who are a little afraid of squash. I made this up when we "inherited" tons of squash from a friend who gardens.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 10m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large summer squash
1 tablespoon dill
1 tablespoon light margarine (can use butter instead)
1 dash garlic salt

Steps:

  • Slice the squash into thin slices (1/4 to 1/2 inch thick). If it is a very large squash, you can cut these into halves or quarters to avoid serving large disks.
  • Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat; spray with cooking spray.
  • Add the squash and sauté several minutes or until tender-crisp (overcooking will produce squishier squash--when it starts looking soft, stop!)
  • Toss with margarine and dill in the pan, stirring until evenly coated, and cook for another minute or so.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for small to medium-sized butternut squash with a deep, rich color. Avoid squash with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the squash thoroughly: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the squash and caramelizes the edges. Roast the squash until it is tender when pierced with a fork, but not so long that it becomes mushy.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley, and thyme, add a bright, flavorful touch to the squash. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds a rich, decadent flavor to the squash. Use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the dish.
  • Season the squash to taste: Once the squash is roasted, taste it and season it with salt and pepper to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a little extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Dill and butter squash is a simple, yet elegant dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The roasted squash is tender and sweet, while the dill and butter add a bright, flavorful touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
