I have two small summer (yellow) squash I need to cook for dinner....?
...Looking for a great way to fix as a side
dish with fish. Can anyone give me an easy recipe or way to prepare them. I thought about dredging in a little flour and then frying them (thin slices). But don't know how long to cook and what spices might be good on these. This isn't a vegie we normally have so want to really make it special to 'impress' so my family will enjoy them and want them again! I made the last ones in stir fry but that wasn't quite a success so need something new. Please help. p.s. I have fresh basil, thyme, and mint or different jars of spices I can use.
Frying may be your best bet then! Of course that’s my husband’s most requested way to cook any kind of vegetable - especially squash. Slice the squash relatively thin. Put some milk or egg or both if you’d like in a bowl and whisk. Put flour or cornmeal in another bowl. I prefer flour. You can either salt and pepper the milk, flour or squash. I do it differently each time. Dip squash slices first in dry ingredients, then liquid ingredients, then dry again. Heat oil in frying pan and fry until golden brown on each side. You can add any seasonings you like to the flour/cornmeal. Cajun is good. Take slices out of grease and place on paper towel lined plate and put in warm (lowest setting) oven to keep from getting soggy.
Another way I like to fix ’em is cut squash in thicker slices. Heat olive oil in skillet. When warm, add minced garlic and onion slices. Saute til fragrant. Add squash, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cover and saute until squash is tender then add chopped tomatoes. Stirring frequently. Cook til tomatoes are hot. Top w/ parmesan cheese and serve.
There are also numerous yummy squash casseroles but not many that just call for 2 squash!
Good luck - enjoy!
