Categories     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 yellow squash
Extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
Fresh basil & thyme for garnish (optional)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove (grated)
2 tablespoons parsley (finely chopped)
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup panko bread crumbs
¼ cup Vegan Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
¼ to ½ teaspoon sea salt
pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice the squash into ¼-inch rounds. If the squash is large, slice the rounds into half-moons.
  • Make the herb oil: In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper and shake to combine.
  • Make the topping: In a small bowl, combine the panko, Vegan Parmesan, parsley, salt, several grinds of pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a few drizzles of olive oil. Add the squash and sauté for about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so that all sides get cooked. I like to cook mine until it's soft, yet still has a firm bite, but before it becomes too watery and mushy. Remove from the skillet and toss with the herb oil. Top with the panko mixture, and fresh herbs, if desired.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Extra virgin olive oil (I used our Greek Early Harvest olive oil)
1 sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 medium yellow squash
1 red bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Pitted marinated olives, sliced (optional)
Handful chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1 tsp za'atar, more for later
3/4 tsp to 1 tsp Aleppo pepper (start with less if you're not sure)
3/4 tsp ground cumin

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add sweet onions and cook for about 4 minutes until translucent (you can raise heat to medium-hot and toss onions regularly.)
  • Add garlic, yellow squash, and red bell peppers. Drizzle a little more extra virgin olive oil.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and spice mixture. Toss with a wooden spoon to make sure vegetables are well coated with the spices. Cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally, until squash and peppers are nice and tender (I like my squash to have some carmalized parts, so it helps to raise the heat for a little while.)
  • Transfer to a serving platter. Add another drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a generous pinch of za'atar. If you like, add a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese, pitted olives, and a handful of chopped fresh herbs like parsley. Enjoy!

This is a vegetable that expresses itself well in a wide range of dishes; just about every cuisine in the world knows how to show it off. It's an excellent low-calorie food, with only 19 calories per cup of raw squash. This dish is great on its own as a side dish, but it can also be incorporated into many other recipes.

SAUTéED YELLOW SQUASH WITH ONIONS



Sautéed Yellow Squash With Onions image

We enjoy this dish all year long and it goes well with any entrée! It is one of the ways my mother liked to prepare yellow squash for our family. The yellow color helps make a pretty plate. I have found that a combination of butter and olive oil is great for sautéing (Paula Deen agrees). Purchase small fresh squash.

Provided by Seasoned Cook

Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 yellow squash, thinly sliced
1 sweet onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Cut squash into thin slices. Spread slices out onto paper towels. Salt and allow to "sweat". After 10 minutes blot with paper towel. Flip slices over and repeat with salt and blot after 10 minutes. This allows salt to flavor squash and releases water for better sautéing.
  • In a 10 inch saucepan combine olive oil and butter. Lightly sauté onion first and set aside into small bowl.
  • In same saucepan sauté squash on low heat until tender. Before removing from heat add sautéed onions and sprinkle with Lawry's seasoned salt, garlic powder and black pepper.
  • Note: For best flavor use a sweet onion.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender yellow squash: Look for squash with bright yellow skin and firm flesh. Avoid squash that is bruised or has blemishes.
  • Slice the squash thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the squash and onions plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you add too much squash and onions to the skillet, they will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the squash and onions over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Stir the squash and onions frequently: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the squash and onions with salt and pepper: This will help bring out their natural flavor.
  • Add other vegetables to the skillet: Such as zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
  • Serve the squash and onions immediately: They are best enjoyed hot off the stove.

Conclusion:

Sautéed yellow squash with onions is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up fresh summer squash and is a healthy and flavorful addition to any meal.
