Provided by Alton Brown

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (6-ounce) pattypan squash
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 large shallot, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels, about 1 ear
1/2 cup cooked lima beans
2 ounces toasted pecans, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a half sheet pan in the oven to heat for 15 minutes.
  • Trim the woody ends and halve the squash crosswise. Scoop out the squash seeds, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Reserve the flesh. Brush the cut sides of the squash with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Arrange the squash, cut side down, onto the preheated pan and roast until the squash is tender and the flesh side is browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer the squash to a serving platter and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, finely chop the reserved squash flesh. Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil shimmers add the chopped squash, shallot, garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the corn, limas, pecans, and thyme. Cook until heated through, approximately 1 minute. Divide the stuffing evenly among the cooked squash and serve immediately.

1 pound ground beef
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter

3 slices American cheese
3 slices Swiss cheese

Steps:

GRILLED OR ROASTED PATTYPAN "STEAKS" WITH ITALIAN SALSA VERDE



Grilled or Roasted Pattypan

Cut into thick slices, pattypan squash, which look sort of like small flying saucers, can make a juicy sort of "steak" that could be topped by a pungent sauce. Grill or roast the "steaks" and serve them with this gorgeous green sauce. You'll need only half the amount of salsa verde that this recipe yields, but it keeps very well in the refrigerator and it's great to have on hand.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), halved, green shoots removed
Salt to taste
1 anchovy fillet, rinsed (optional)
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup (tightly packed) parsley leaves (25 grams)
Freshly ground pepper
2 pounds large pattypan squash
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the garlic, salt, anchovy fillet and capers in a mortar and pestle and grind to a paste. If you wish to make the sauce in a mini food processor or with an immersion blender (an immersion blender works very well, especially if it has a strong motor), transfer to the processor or place in a jar. Add the parsley. If using a mortar and pestle, grind together until you have a paste. If using a food processor or an immersion blender, add the olive oil with the parsley and blend to a purée. If using a mortar and pestle, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and work into the mixture. Continue to grind until you have a very smooth mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If serving within a few hours, allow to sit at room temperature. Otherwise, refrigerate. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat, and preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Alternately, prepare a hot outdoor grill.
  • Slice the squash 3/4 inch thick and toss in a bowl with the olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Sear in the hot pan for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until the surface is lightly browned, and transfer to a sheet pan. Place in the oven and roast for 5 minutes. Using tongs, turn the pieces over and roast for another 5 minutes, until they are sizzling and tender all the way through. Remove from the heat. If grilling, grill the pieces for about 5 minutes on each side, until they are tender all the way through and beginning to drip.Transfer the squash slices to a platter. Top each one with a teaspoonful of the salsa, and serve hot or warm.
