Grilled Pattypan Squash with Hot Chorizo Vinaigrette image

Instead of stuffing and baking these squash, I decided to grill them instead and top them with a hot chorizo vinaigrette. It's something I've wanted to try for a while, and it really turned out to be a wonderful combination.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 pattypan squash, trimmed, cut in half along scalloped edge
Kosher salt, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 ounces fresh, raw chorizo sausage
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
⅓ cup sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Place squash cut side up on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Generously sprinkle with kosher salt. Let sit 15 minutes to extract some moisture from the squash.
  • Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat; add olive oil and ground chorizo. Cook until chorizo is very well browned, 6 to 8 minutes, breaking up the meat into fine pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Remove from heat. Leave about 2 tablespoons of rendered fat in the pan; remove the rest. Stir olive oil, vinegar, and freshly sliced mint into the chorizo mixture.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Blot off moisture from squash with a paper towel.
  • Grill squash rounds, turning them often, until tender and nicely charred, about 3 minutes total per side. Transfer to serving dish. Top with warm chorizo vinaigrette. Garnish with more chopped mint.

I had some trouble finding pattypan squash at my local grocery store, but I was able to find it at a farmer's market. It was worth the effort because the squash was so delicious.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chorizo in the vinaigrette if you don't like spicy food.
