SKILLET CROOKNECK SQUASH AND ONIONS



Skillet Crookneck Squash and Onions image

We. Love. Squash. Simple, with only 3 other ingredients, besides salt and pepper, this recipe sets off the delicious, slightly sweet flavor of crookneck or summer squash. Mom used to stew squash, but this vegetable releases a lot of water when it cooks, so I don't add any water. The long, slow cooking helps to release the natural sugars in the onion and the squash. You can add additional herbs or seasonings, if you like, or cook it for less time to make it firmer, but this is how we do it. Just squash.

SQUASH, POTATOES AND ONIONS- OH MY!



Squash, Potatoes and Onions- Oh My! image

A wonderful side dish that I make as soon as the yellow squash start coming in. When I first started making this about 30 years ago, I used the bacon grease. I found I like the margarine better and I like the squash to cook so that you have a few browned pieces in. Oooohh, that gives it so much flavor!

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash. For this recipe, a butternut squash or kabocha squash works well. Both have a sweet, nutty flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients.
  • Cut the squash into evenly sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much squash and potatoes to the pan, they won't cook evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Season the squash and potatoes generously. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices.
  • Cook the squash and potatoes until they are tender. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Add the remaining ingredients. Once the squash and potatoes are tender, add the onions, bell peppers, and corn. Cook until the vegetables are heated through.
  • Serve the skillet squash and potatoes immediately. This dish is best served hot.

Conclusion:

Skillet squash and potatoes is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Add your favorite vegetables or protein to make it a complete meal.
