SQUASH PATTIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Finely chop yellow squash and place into a microwave-safe glass bowl along with onions and peppers.
• Microwave on HIGH for 9-10 minutes or until squash is thoroughly cooked and soft. Drain. Mash. Drain again. (I place cooked veggie mixture in a sieve and press on it with a big spoon.)
• Add remaining ingredients to cooked squash and stir to combine.
• Heat a large skillet on medium. Add oil and heat until it glistens. Drop batter by spoonfuls into your skillet without crowding. Flatten with the back of a spoon to make a patty.
• Cook until golden brown on one side, then flip to fry the other side (similar to making pancakes). Serve immediately.

OVEN-ROASTED PATTY PAN SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut squash into 1/2-inch wedges. Slice onion vertically into thin slices. Combine squash, onion, olive oil, coriander, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; toss to coat vegetables evenly in oil and seasonings. Spread out vegetables in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender and slightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Combine melted butter, lemon juice, chives, and lemon zest in the same large bowl; toss cooked squash in butter mixture and serve hot.

YELLOW SQUASH PATTIES

Steps:

• Place the squash and onion in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and drain about 30 minutes, until no longer moist.
• In a bowl, mix the squash and onion, flour, cornmeal, egg, and cheese. Season with pepper.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop squash mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls into the skillet, and cook 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

OVERSTUFFED PATTYPAN SQUASH

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a half sheet pan in the oven to heat for 15 minutes.
• Trim the woody ends and halve the squash crosswise. Scoop out the squash seeds, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Reserve the flesh. Brush the cut sides of the squash with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Arrange the squash, cut side down, onto the preheated pan and roast until the squash is tender and the flesh side is browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer the squash to a serving platter and set aside.
• Meanwhile, finely chop the reserved squash flesh. Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil shimmers add the chopped squash, shallot, garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the corn, limas, pecans, and thyme. Cook until heated through, approximately 1 minute. Divide the stuffing evenly among the cooked squash and serve immediately.
