SAUTEED PATTY PAN SQUASH



Sauteed Patty Pan Squash image

Rarely can you find patty pan (aka scalloped) squash in the grocery store. However, many farmers markets have them. In Texas, it seems that every farmers market is overflowing with squash come June. However, if you can't find them, any summer squash will do. I also have made this recipe using yellow squash and zucchini and it was quite delicious. The freshness of the ingredients scream "summer".

Categories     side-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Put 1 halved, seeded spaghetti squash in a microwave-safe dish; add 2 tablespoons water, cover and microwave until tender, 16 minutes. Let cool slightly, then scrape into strands with a fork into a bowl. Cook 2 sliced garlic cloves in olive oil until golden. Add to the squash along with 2 tablespoons each chopped parsley, chives and pickled cherry peppers; toss. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pattypan squash. Look for small, tender squash that are about 2-3 inches in diameter. Avoid squash that are too large or have blemishes.
  • Slice the squash evenly. This will help them cook evenly. If the squash are not sliced evenly, some pieces may be overcooked while others are still undercooked.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet. This will help prevent the squash from sticking and will also give them a nice flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you overcrowd the skillet, the squash will not cook evenly. Cook the squash in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the squash until they are tender-crisp. You should be able to easily pierce the squash with a fork when they are done.
  • Serve the squash immediately. Pattypan squash is best served hot out of the skillet.

Conclusion:

Garlic herb fried pattypan squash is a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The squash is tender and flavorful, and the garlic and herb seasoning adds a nice touch of flavor. This dish is perfect for a summer cookout or potluck, and it can also be served as a healthy snack.
