Sauteed Summer Squash

I had the joy of going over to a shareholder’s house last week (my sister’s) and she prepared some summer squash from last week’s share. Here is the very simple, very delicious recipe she used:

Serves 4
From: The Joy of Cooking

• 3 cups diced summer squash
• 3 tablespoons butter or olive oil
• 1 cup minced onions
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper

Cook onions in oil until golden brown. Add squash, salt and pepper. Cover and cook the squash until tender, about 6 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally. Remove the lid and cook an additional 3 minutes to evaporate juices. Serve and sprinkle with any of the following:

• Chopped basil or parsley, grated parmesan, chopped garlic, grated lemon zest, or drizzle with tomato sauce
