Steamed Yellow Squash Recipes

Steps:

• Slice and steam or boil squash until tender. Pour off any remaining water.
• Mash the squash slightly. In a medium size pot place mashed squash, onion, butter, milk, salt and pepper. Mix well and heat over a medium flame. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Cut bacon into 1/4-inch thick strips (lardons). Slice squash and set aside.
• Cook bacon lardons in a saucepan over medium heat until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add squash, onion, sugar, salt, and pepper to the bacon and bacon grease. Add enough water to cover and cook over medium-low heat for 45 minutes. Much of the water will evaporate; add more if needed.

Steps:

• Wash and quarter the squash. Steam in a skillet or saucepan over water until al dente. (Time depends on the size of your squash -- usually about 4-5 minutes.).
• Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onions until translucent. Add the steamed squash and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skilet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion in the butter until it browns slightly, about 5 minutes. Layer the squash slices into the skillet and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
• Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and cook the squash for 20 minutes, or until tender. Remove the cover. Stir the squash and continue cooking until the liquid has cooked out, another 3 or 4 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat skillet over medium high heat. Add oil, then butter. When butter melts, add red peppers and squash. Saute 12 to 14 minutes until squash is tender. Add salt, pepper and parsley. Add chives or scallions if you would like a layer of light onion flavor on the dish as well.
