Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onions
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 pounds summer squash (about 6 medium), sliced into thin rounds
2 pounds zucchini (about 6 medium), sliced into thin rounds
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
3 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup crushed butter crackers
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with 1/2 tablespoon butter.
  • Heat the olive oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions, salt, and black pepper and cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the squash and zucchini and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Stir in the thyme and remove from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to the prepared baking dish, reserving the cooking liquid.
  • Combine the eggs and cream in a medium bowl and whisk to blend. Gradually whisk the reserved cooking liquid into the egg mixture. When all the cooking liquid is incorporated, pour the mixture over the vegetables in the baking dish. Using a spoon, gently shift the vegetables around so the egg mixture is evenly distributed. Bake until the mixture sets, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle first with the crackers and then with the Parmesan, if using, and return to the oven. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

GREEK STEWED GREEN BEANS AND YELLOW SQUASH WITH TOMATOES



Greek Stewed Green Beans and Yellow Squash With Tomatoes image

Green beans are one of many vegetables that both Greek and Turkish cooks stew with abundant olive oil in dishes known as ladera. This recipe is inspired by one of them, but it's a far cry from the authentic version, which requires three times as much oil and simmers for a longer time. Don't be put off by the faded color of the beans; they're comforting and delicious.

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, main course

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
3/4 pound yellow squash (3 medium squash), sliced
1 (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, or 1 1/2 cups peeled, chopped tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, parsley or dill
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a wide, covered skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender and translucent, five to eight minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the green beans, squash and remaining oil. Stir together for a few minutes, then add the tomatoes and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then add salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Cover and simmer 30 minutes until the beans are tender and the mixture is stew-like. Add the herbs, and simmer for another five to 10 minutes. Add lemon juice if desired. Taste, and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Categories     Soup/Stew     Potato     Vegetable     Stew     Vegetarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Green Bean     Zucchini     Spring     Healthy     Vegan     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed, halved crosswise
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 ounces zucchini, cut into 1-inch-thick slices
8 ounces russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
3/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 28-ounce can Italian-style tomatoes, drained, juices reserved, tomatoes chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté 5 minute Add green beans and cayenne pepper and sauté until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and tender vegetables: Look for green beans that are bright green and crisp, zucchini that is firm and smooth, and yellow squash that is deep yellow and free of blemishes.
  • Prep your vegetables properly: Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Cut the zucchini and yellow squash into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  • Cook the vegetables until tender-crisp: You want the vegetables to be cooked through but still have a slight crunch to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Season the vegetables well: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all great seasonings for green beans, zucchini, and yellow squash. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as oregano, basil, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Serve the vegetables hot or cold: Green beans, zucchini, and yellow squash can be served hot as a side dish or main course. They can also be served cold in salads or dips.

Conclusion:

Green beans, zucchini, and yellow squash are delicious and versatile vegetables that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a great source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. By following these tips, you can cook green beans, zucchini, and yellow squash perfectly every time.
