Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For this recipe, butternut squash, acorn squash, and kabocha squash are all good choices. Look for squash that is firm and free of blemishes.
  • Cut the squash into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they may not cook through, and if they are too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
  • Use a steamer basket: This is the best way to steam the squash. If you don't have a steamer basket, you can use a colander placed over a pot of boiling water.
  • Steam the squash until tender: The squash is done steaming when it is easily pierced with a fork. Depending on the size of the squash pieces, this may take 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the sun-dried tomatoes and herbs: Once the squash is cooked, stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, herbs, and any other desired seasonings. Serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Steamed squash medley with sun-dried tomatoes is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
