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.

Provided by Seasoned Cook

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.

Sautéed Summer Squash with Red Pepper and Onion image

This is the time of year when, no matter what part of the country you live in, tables at farmers' markets are piled high with summer squash, mounds of it: yellow, light green and dark, round and long. This is a vegetable that expresses itself well in a wide range of dishes; just about every cuisine in the world knows how to show it off. It's an excellent low-calorie food, with only 19 calories per cup of raw squash. This dish is great on its own as a side dish, but it can also be incorporated into many other recipes.

SAUTEED PATTY PAN SQUASH



Sauteed Patty Pan Squash image

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".

Provided by Tastyeatsathome

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Squash     Summer Squash

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
½ sweet yellow onion (such as Vidalia®), thinly sliced
4 patty pan squash, sliced to 1/2-inch-thick pieces
3 cloves garlic, crushed, or more to taste
1 dash lemon pepper
1 ½ cups packed fresh spinach
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
½ lemon, juiced
1 ½ teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until foaming, 1 to 2 minutes. Saute onion in the olive oil-butter until tender and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add squash and garlic; season with lemon pepper. Saute mixture until squash is easily pierced with a fork, 5 to 6 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For sautéing, opt for firm-fleshed varieties like butternut, acorn, or kabocha squash. These varieties hold their shape well and are less likely to become mushy when cooked.
  • Cut the squash evenly: This will ensure that it cooks evenly. Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes or slices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the squash will steam instead of sautéing. Cook the squash in batches if necessary.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil will help to bring out the flavor of the squash. You can also use avocado oil or grapeseed oil.
  • Season the squash well: Season the squash with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar to help caramelize the squash.
  • Don't overcook the squash: Overcooked squash will become mushy. Cook the squash until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.

Conclusion:

Sautéed squash with onions is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, main course, or even a breakfast hash. It is a healthy and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, sautéed squash with onions is a must-try for anyone who loves squash.
