Yellow Squash

[Elizabeth86]

What do you do with it?

[Farrar]

Sautee it with onions and serve it as a side dish.

 

Sautee it with onions, zucchini, and add chopped tomatoes at the end and sprinkle it with cheese and bacon and serve it as a fancy side dish.

 

Sautee it with various other vegetables and toss it with pasta and parmesan cheese and eat it as a main dish.

 

I like zucchini better though.

I sauté it with other veggies, onion, garlic and spices to make veggie fajitas.

Either sauté with onions or roast with zucchini and white mushrooms.

[regentrude]

stir fry.

[VaKim]

Coat it with flour and either skillet fry or deep fry it. Either that or make squash casserole.

Slice, toss with a little olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt, roast in oven. Sprinkle with grated parmesan and enjoy!

Fry it with a cornmeal coating.

[HollyDay]

I either grill it with other veggies:  zucchini, mushrooms, etc. or I stir fry it with bacon.

Slice, toss with a little olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt, roast in oven. Sprinkle with grated parmesan and enjoy! 

 

This is what I do. To make prep a tad quicker, slice it lengthwise. 

 

I also do the saute with onions, garlic, tomato, and fresh herbs like basil and oregano. Serve as side dish or on pasta with meat of your choice. 

[Slartibartfast]

Grill it with a little lemon pepper, stir fry, toss it in pasta, it's very versatile.

 

One could make squash casserole, which is delicious, but I can't eat dairy so meh

Often just sauteed with onions and garlic. Sometimes grilled. I use it interchangeably with zucchini. Most recently, yellow squash went into my chocolate zucchini cake in place of zucchini. People ate all if it.

I just got some and sliced the long way into four slices, then sautéed in olive oil until browned a bit on each side. Kosher salt on each side and generous amount of smoked paprika on top. I have also used zatar or sumac or (sparingly) berbere.

 

I have also sliced in half it the long way, brushed with oil prices or butter, and baked until soft, then added grated cheese and paprika.

I use it in this Mexican veggie casserole: https://peppertree.wordpress.com/2009/12/30/mexican-veggie-casserole/

 

Sometimes I'll do half zucchini and half yellow squash, but it's fine with all one or the other.

[Tanaqui]

Grate it up with cheddar and garlic, make squash pancakes.

I like to slice it and sauté it with a bit of butter and salt.

 

I also like it spiralized into noodles.

I eat one small one most mornings with breakfast in the summer.  I saute it with mushrooms (it takes as long as the mushrooms), green peppers, onions, purslane, and spinach.  Pending morning I might use olive oil (most common) or coconut oil.  Then I add salt and serve it alongside two fried overeasy eggs.  YUM!

 

When we want it for lunch and/or supper (often in season since the plants are so prolific), I just slice it into half - 3/4 inch slices, add a tablespoon of butter, and toss it in our microwave on 3 cups fresh vegetables - then those eating can add salt or pepper as they like.  Everyone who's had it has loved it.  I often get "yum" comments when someone new tries it and it's so easy to make.

 

Fresh yellow summer squash with butter and/or salt has a really likable flavor on its own without having to dress it up.
