Categories     weekday, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds medium or small zucchini or other summer squash, thinly sliced or diced depending on what shape squash you use
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ripe tomatoes, grated on the large holes of a box grater, or peeled, seeded and diced
Salt

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for yellow squash that is firm and has a deep yellow color. Avoid squash that is bruised or has blemishes.
  • Slice the squash thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Cook the squash over medium-high heat: This will help it brown and caramelize.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the squash will steam instead of sauté.
  • Add some aromatics: Aromatics like garlic, onion, and shallots will add flavor to the dish.
  • Season the squash: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for sautéed squash. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, paprika, or chili powder.
  • Add some moisture: If the squash starts to stick to the pan, add a little bit of water or broth.
  • Serve immediately: Sautéed squash is best served immediately. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil.

Conclusion:

Sautéed yellow squash and tomatoes is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for summer. The squash is tender and flavorful, and the tomatoes add a pop of sweetness and acidity. This dish can be served on its own or as a side to grilled chicken, fish, or steak. Its simplicity and freshness make it an ideal dish for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.
