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.

Received this from another on line recipe site and loved the summery, bright flavors, ease of making and attractive presentation. I did add sweet onion and sweet peppers to the mix but posting as it was listed. Thinking it might also be good placed in a casserole dish, covered w/cheese and heated in the oven (just a thought)

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for firm, unblemished yellow squash that is about 6 inches long and 2 inches in diameter.
  • Slice the squash evenly: This will help it cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the squash enough room to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help the squash brown and caramelize.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you do, the squash will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Sauté the squash in batches if necessary: If you have a lot of squash, you may need to cook it in batches.
  • Season the squash to taste: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.
  • Serve the squash immediately: It's best when it's hot and fresh.
