YELLOW SQUASH AND RED PEPPER SAUTE



Yellow Squash and Red Pepper Saute image

This is my favorite way to have yellow squash. I have to fight my husband for it because he loves it, too. I am estimating all the amounts. I usually just toss mine together with whatever amounts of squash and red pepper I have. I love the bright red and yellow colors dancing in the pan! Sometimes I sprinkle a little balsamic vinegar at the end and let it caramelize on the squash....not as beautiful a color but quite tasty.

1 pound red onions (2 medium), cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick rounds
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/3 cup chopped basil
Equipment: an 8- to 9-inch springform pan
Garnish: Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings and basil leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
  • Toss bell peppers with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a 17-by 11-inch 4-sided sheet pan. Roast, turning once, until softened, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • While bell peppers roast, heat 3 tablespoons oil with garlic in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until oil is hot. Add one third of squash with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper and cook, turning once, until just tender (do not overcook), 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer cooked squash with garlic to a tray using a slotted spoon. Cook remaining squash in 2 batches with salt and pepper in same manner, using another tablespoon oil if necessary and transferring squash to tray.
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and cook onions with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 16 to 18 minutes. Add vinegar and briskly simmer until liquid has evaporated. Cool to room temperature.
  • Flip bottom of springform pan so lip is facing down (to make torte easier to slide off), then lock in place. Lightly oil pan. Layer one third of squash with garlic in pan, slightly overlapping. Sprinkle with some of grated cheese and basil. Layer half of bell peppers over squash, then half of onions and more cheese and basil. Repeat with half of remaining squash and all of remaining onions, then all remaining bell peppers, sprinkling with remaining cheese and basil. Arrange a final layer of squash on top.
  • Put springform pan in a small baking pan and cover springform with plastic wrap. Place a small plate (to just fit inside springform) on top of vegetables, then weight with 2 or 3 heavy (15-to 19-ounces) cans. Chill until cold, at least 6 hours (torte will release liquid).
  • Remove weights, plate, and plastic wrap. Remove torte from pan and put on a plate. Blot any excess moisture. Bring torte to room temperature and cut into wedges.

CHILLED YELLOW SQUASH SOUP WITH DILL



Chilled Yellow Squash Soup with Dill image

I make this soup with small yellow squash from my yard and leave the skin on. They give the soup a wonderful color and a mild buttery flavor. You can also make them with zucchini, but pick small, young ones with small seeds.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For this soup, yellow squash is the best choice because it has a mild flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients. Avoid using zucchini, as it has a higher water content and can make the soup too watery.
  • Roast the vegetables: Roasting the vegetables before adding them to the soup brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to roast them until they are slightly caramelized.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even a combination of the two.
  • Don't overcook the soup: Once the soup comes to a simmer, let it cook for just a few minutes until the vegetables are heated through. Overcooking the soup can make the vegetables mushy.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.

Conclusion:

This yellow squash and bell pepper soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. The soup can be served hot or cold, and it's also a great option for a packed lunch.
