Summer Squash Green And Yellow Garlic Onion Lemon Zest Recipes

STEWED SUMMER SQUASH AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Slice squash as thinly as possible- I use a mandoline to do this quickly.
• Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat.
• Add squash and onions and season then cover with water.
• Cook, stirring occasionally until water evaporates.
• Can be eaten at this point, but I like to cook it until it is almost brown, you just have to stir very frequently because it will stick pretty bad. Cooking it a long time will caramelize the vegetables and it becomes a sweet side dish. Warning- it isn't pretty, but it is tasty!
• Make this into a main dish by adding chunks of ham during cooking. Also delicious!

SAUTEED SUMMER SQUASH WITH ONIONS AND MINT

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet and saute the onion and garlic over a moderate to low heat until the onion is almost caramelized.
• Add the summer squash and the mint to the skillet and saute until the squash is golden. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with mint sprigs and serve.

SHEET-PAN ROASTED SUMMER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Spray 18x13-inch rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray. On sheet pan, combine zucchini, summer squash, bell pepper, onion and tomatoes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil, 3/4 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper; toss until vegetables are coated.
• Roast uncovered 25 to 30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes, until vegetables are tender and just start to brown.
• Meanwhile, in 8-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Place garlic in small bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet; heat over medium heat. Add bread crumbs; stir to coat. Cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Spoon into bowl with garlic. Add lemon zest and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; stir to mix. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture and basil over roasted vegetables.

GARLIC ROASTED SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Trim the ends from the squash, and cut each squash in half lengthwise. Cut the halves in half again crosswise, to make 4 pieces; cut those pieces in half twice more the long way, to make 16 short spears from each squash. Toss the squash with olive oil and garlic in a bowl; place into a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
• Roast the squash until the spears and garlic start to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Check the squash after 5 minutes, and add time in 2- to 3-minute intervals to avoid burning.

SLOW-COOKED SUMMER SQUASH WITH LEMON AND THYME

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 350°F. Toss summer squash, garlic, lemon zest, thyme, oil, and salt in a shallow 2-qt. baking dish to combine.
• Turn garlic cut side down, then roast vegetables, tossing 2 or 3 times, until golden brown, very tender, and edges and cut sides are crisp, 1 hour and 40 minutes-1 hour and 50 minutes. Let cool slightly, then add lemon juice and toss to coat.

HINT OF LEMON SQUASH SAUTE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the squash, carrots and onion in oil for 5-7 minutes or until tender. Add the remaining ingredients; cook 1 minute longer.

SAUTéED YELLOW SQUASH WITH ONIONS

Steps:

• Cut squash into thin slices. Spread slices out onto paper towels. Salt and allow to "sweat". After 10 minutes blot with paper towel. Flip slices over and repeat with salt and blot after 10 minutes. This allows salt to flavor squash and releases water for better sautéing.
• In a 10 inch saucepan combine olive oil and butter. Lightly sauté onion first and set aside into small bowl.
• In same saucepan sauté squash on low heat until tender. Before removing from heat add sautéed onions and sprinkle with Lawry's seasoned salt, garlic powder and black pepper.
• Note: For best flavor use a sweet onion.
