Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Extra virgin olive oil (I used our Greek Early Harvest olive oil)
1 sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 medium yellow squash
1 red bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Pitted marinated olives, sliced (optional)
Handful chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1 tsp za'atar, more for later
3/4 tsp to 1 tsp Aleppo pepper (start with less if you're not sure)
3/4 tsp ground cumin

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add sweet onions and cook for about 4 minutes until translucent (you can raise heat to medium-hot and toss onions regularly.)
  • Add garlic, yellow squash, and red bell peppers. Drizzle a little more extra virgin olive oil.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and spice mixture. Toss with a wooden spoon to make sure vegetables are well coated with the spices. Cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally, until squash and peppers are nice and tender (I like my squash to have some carmalized parts, so it helps to raise the heat for a little while.)
  • Transfer to a serving platter. Add another drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a generous pinch of za'atar. If you like, add a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese, pitted olives, and a handful of chopped fresh herbs like parsley. Enjoy!

SAUTéED YELLOW SQUASH WITH ONIONS



Sautéed Yellow Squash With Onions image

We enjoy this dish all year long and it goes well with any entrée! It is one of the ways my mother liked to prepare yellow squash for our family. The yellow color helps make a pretty plate. I have found that a combination of butter and olive oil is great for sautéing (Paula Deen agrees). Purchase small fresh squash.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 yellow squash, thinly sliced
1 sweet onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Cut squash into thin slices. Spread slices out onto paper towels. Salt and allow to "sweat". After 10 minutes blot with paper towel. Flip slices over and repeat with salt and blot after 10 minutes. This allows salt to flavor squash and releases water for better sautéing.
  • In a 10 inch saucepan combine olive oil and butter. Lightly sauté onion first and set aside into small bowl.
  • In same saucepan sauté squash on low heat until tender. Before removing from heat add sautéed onions and sprinkle with Lawry's seasoned salt, garlic powder and black pepper.
  • Note: For best flavor use a sweet onion.

Tips:

  • Choose young and tender yellow squash for the best flavor and texture. Look for squash that is bright yellow in color and has smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Slice the squash thinly so that it cooks evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to slice the squash.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the squash. If you add too much squash to the pan, it will steam instead of sautéing and will become mushy.
  • Cook the squash over medium-high heat so that it browns slightly. This will give the squash a more flavorful and caramelized taste.
  • Stir the squash frequently while cooking to ensure that it cooks evenly. You don't want the squash to stick to the pan or burn.
  • Season the squash to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Sautéed yellow squash with onion is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed all summer long. With its bright color, slightly sweet flavor, and tender texture, yellow squash is a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. Whether you serve it as a side dish, add it to your favorite soup or stew, or use it as a filling for tacos or quesadillas, sautéed yellow squash is sure to please everyone at the table.
