Stewed Yellow Summer Squash Food

STEWED SUMMER SQUASH AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Slice squash as thinly as possible- I use a mandoline to do this quickly.
• Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat.
• Add squash and onions and season then cover with water.
• Cook, stirring occasionally until water evaporates.
• Can be eaten at this point, but I like to cook it until it is almost brown, you just have to stir very frequently because it will stick pretty bad. Cooking it a long time will caramelize the vegetables and it becomes a sweet side dish. Warning- it isn't pretty, but it is tasty!
• Make this into a main dish by adding chunks of ham during cooking. Also delicious!
