thoughtful consumption

Here’s my favorite yellow squash recipe. The original idea came from this Cooks.com recipe.

It’s yummy like fried squash but not nearly as greasy or messy to cook.

The amounts below make two generous servings:

• 1 yellow squash
• ½ onion
• some cormeal or cormeal mix
• 1 clove of garlic, minced (optional)
• 1 tbsp butter
• salt and pepper to taste

Slice yellow squash and onion. I use a 1 small squash to ½ onion ratio. You can add a clove of minced garlic, too. Melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the squash, onion, and garlic. Sprinkle some cornmeal on top. Cook over medium, stirring frequently, until brown and tender. Maybe 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

I’ve substituted cornmeal mix for the cornmeal and olive oil for the butter. Both substitutions work, but they’re not quite as tasty.

Also, the ingredients can be prepared and refrigerated ahead of time. Then you just toss them in the butter and go.
