SAUTEED PATTY PAN SQUASH

Rarely can you find patty pan (aka scalloped) squash in the grocery store. However, many farmers markets have them. In Texas, it seems that every farmers market is overflowing with squash come June. However, if you can't find them, any summer squash will do. I also have made this recipe using yellow squash and zucchini and it was quite delicious. The freshness of the ingredients scream "summer".

STUFFED PATTY PAN SQUASH



Stuffed Patty Pan Squash image

An abundant harvest of patty pan squash led me to this recipe elsewhere on the internet. Very tasty! and I cooked a full package of bacon so my picky eaters could have BLTs while I enjoyed this! BTW I use Recipe #173076 to cook my bacon (see my notes in my review for details).

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 45m

Yield 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 pattypan squash, stem and blossom removed (or 3 larger squash)
6 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 1/2 cups soft breadcrumbs
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Bring one inch of water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add squash, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until a fork can pierce the stem with little resistance.
  • Drain, and slice off the top stem of the squash. Use a melon baller to carefully scoop out the centers of the squash. Reserve all of the bits of squash. (I used larger squash so discarded the seeds - warning the squash is very liquidy in the center so I drained it a bit after scooping.
  • Mince the reserved squash.
  • Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl with the minced squash, mixing well.
  • Stuff each squash to overflowing with the mixture, and place them in a baking dish. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until squash are heated through.

Tips for Making Garlic Herb Fried Patty Pan Squash:

  • Choose small patty pan squash that are about 2 inches in diameter. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Slice the squash thinly, about 1/4 inch thick. This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
  • Make sure the olive oil is hot before adding the squash. This will help to prevent the squash from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the squash over medium heat until it is tender and slightly browned, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Season the squash with garlic, herbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
