Zucchini Lamb And Summer Squash With Buttermilk Dill Marinade Food

ZUCCHINI, LAMB, AND SUMMER SQUASH WITH BUTTERMILK DILL MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine buttermilk, garlic, dill, and 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Set aside 1/4 cup of marinade. Reserve and refrigerate about 1/4 cup of marinade. Transfer remaining marinade to a zip-top bag and add lamb and toss to coat. Refrigerate 8 hours (or up to overnight).
• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Thread some skewers with lamb, others with zucchini, and others with summer squash. Season with salt and pepper. Grill lamb skewers for 9 to 12 minutes and zucchini and squash skewers for 12 to 15 minutes, turning all skewers frequently and brushing with reserved marinade.

MARINATED AND GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, garlic and thyme in a large bowl.
• Season with salt and pepper and gradually whisk in the olive oil.
• Slice both of the squash diagonally into 1/4" thick slices.
• Spoon 3 tablespoons of the marinade into a small bowl, cover and set aside.
• Add all the squash to the remaining marinade in the large bowl and toss to coat.
• Transfer the mixture to a 13x9 glass baking dish, cover and marinate at room temperature for at least 3 hours.
• Can also be refrigerated for up to one day to marinate.
• Season squash with a little additional salt and pepper and grill on the barbecue or on an indoor grill pan until they are crisp tender and brown, turning occasionally for about 8 minutes.
• Transfer squash to a serving platter and drizzle with the reserved 3 tablespoons of marinade.
• Serve hot or at room temperature.

SUMMER SQUASH WITH DILL

Steps:

• Slice the squash into thin slices (1/4 to 1/2 inch thick). If it is a very large squash, you can cut these into halves or quarters to avoid serving large disks.
• Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat; spray with cooking spray.
• Add the squash and sauté several minutes or until tender-crisp (overcooking will produce squishier squash--when it starts looking soft, stop!)
• Toss with margarine and dill in the pan, stirring until evenly coated, and cook for another minute or so.

DILLED SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Thoroughly wash zucchini and squash, and remove ends.
• Slice squash and zucchini lengthwise, then cut halves into thin slices.
• Add garlic, dill and onions to skillet, and cook for about a minute, stirring constantly.
• Add remaining ingredients and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 3 minutes or until crisp and tender.
• If there is too much water left in the pan, increase heat to medium-high and simmer uncovered until gone, stirring frequently.
