SAUTéED YELLOW SQUASH AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Add the zucchini, squash, Italian seasoning and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini and squash are tender and beginning to brown in some spots, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

SIMPLE SKILLET ZUCCHINI AND YELLOW SQUASH

Steps:

• In a 10- or 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until hot and rippling.
• Add the zucchini and yellow squash in as even a layer as possible (it should sizzle as it hits the skillet) and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let it sit without stirring or moving for 2-3 minutes so it can get nice and golden. Give it a good stir, add a touch more salt and pepper to taste if needed, and let it continue to cook, stirring only every now and then, until the squash is browning here and there and tender to your liking, about 5-7 more minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste and top with freshly grated Parmesan, if desired. Serve immediately.

FRIED SQUASH AND/OR ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• 1. Slice squash into rounds 1/8"-1/4" thick.
• 2. When I have time, I salt the squash and let it sit for about 30 minutes to sweat out the excess water but when I am in a hurry I skip this step.
• 3. Combine milk and egg in a small bowl.
• 4. In a 2nd bowl (I use a plate) combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• 5. If you set the squash aside to sweat, dab them dry with a paper towel.
• 6. Then dip them in the egg mixture.
• 7. Then dredge them in the dry mixture.
• 8. Continue this process until all the rounds have been dredged.
• 9. Using enough to cover the bottom of the pan, heat oil in a large skillet using medium to medium high heat. Place squash in skillet and fry both sides of squash until golden brown.
• 10. Once fried, place on a paper towel to absorb extra oil.
