SAUTEED SUMMER SQUASH WITH BELL PEPPERS AND ONIONS



Sauteed Summer Squash with Bell Peppers and Onions image

Provided by Mary Younkin

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 of one yellow onion (cut into 1" pieces)
1 red bell pepper (cut into 1" pieces)
About a dozen small (2-3 inch pattypan squash, stems removed and then quarted)
1 medium Italian zucchini (cut into 1"pieces)
1 small yellow crookneck squash (cut into 1" pieces)
kosher salt
fresh cracked pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the olive in a large skillet and then add the onions. Cook at medium heat, for about 2 minutes, stirring infrequently. Stirring infrequently is the key to a great saute - the more your stir, the less the veggies will be crisp as desired. Add the bell pepper, let that cook for a couple minutes and then add the squash. Stir to combine and then leave it alone for a few minutes.
  • Sometimes I will cover this will a lid for a few minutes, but it depends on how everything is cooking. Check to see how to squash is cooking, flip everything over in the skillet or stir gently. If you are not stirring it often, you will see the edges begin to crisp and brown on the vegetables.
  • If the skillet is dry or things appear to be sticking to it, just splash a little bit of water into the skillet. When the veggies are done to the level that you desire, remove from the heat and serve immediately. Enjoy!

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables: Select firm, brightly-colored yellow squash, bell peppers, and onions for the best flavor and texture.
  • Slice the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming overdone while others are still raw.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle: This will allow you to cook all of the vegetables in one batch without overcrowding them.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing and will become soggy.
  • Cook the vegetables over medium-high heat: This will help them to brown and caramelize, giving them a delicious flavor.
  • Stir the vegetables frequently: This will prevent them from sticking to the skillet and will help them to cook evenly.
  • Season the vegetables to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: They are best enjoyed when served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Sautéed yellow squash, peppers, and onions is a simple but flavorful side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses.
