CHEESY SQUASH



Cheesy Squash image

I'm a retired police officer and now a deputy sheriff who loves to cook. But with my busy schedule, I must rely on speedy side dishes like this one. The squash retains its fresh taste and cooks to a perfect tender crispness. You can give this cheesy treatment to other fresh veggies, too. It's so quick that I make some variation of it a few times a week. Everyone loves it!

FRIED SQUASH AND/OR ZUCCHINI



Fried Squash and/or Zucchini image

Fried zucchini is a Southern delicacy, but not all fried zucchini recipes are created equal. This one is delicious. Salting and sweating the zucchini before frying pulls most of the extra moisture from the zucchini or yellow squash. That step makes the crust stick much better. These fried zucchini chips are perfectly seasoned...

Categories     Vegetables

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2-3 squash or zucchini, medium-sized
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 c milk
1/2 c cornmeal
1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/4-1/2 tsp salt, depending on your taste (we are light salters)
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Slice squash into rounds 1/8"-1/4" thick.
  • 2. When I have time, I salt the squash and let it sit for about 30 minutes to sweat out the excess water but when I am in a hurry I skip this step.
  • 3. Combine milk and egg in a small bowl.
  • 4. In a 2nd bowl (I use a plate) combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • 5. If you set the squash aside to sweat, dab them dry with a paper towel.
  • 6. Then dip them in the egg mixture.
  • 7. Then dredge them in the dry mixture.
  • 8. Continue this process until all the rounds have been dredged.
  • 9. Using enough to cover the bottom of the pan, heat oil in a large skillet using medium to medium high heat. Place squash in skillet and fry both sides of squash until golden brown.
  • 10. Once fried, place on a paper towel to absorb extra oil.

ZUCCHINI AND YELLOW SQUASH WITH QUINOA



Zucchini and Yellow Squash With Quinoa image

I love the flavors in this dish, and it is very quick and easy to make. It makes a good side dish, or can stand on its own. It is quite healthful as well, suitable for a diabetic diet, or vegetarian diet. Search online for 'quinoa', and you will learn its nutritional benefits if you have not already discovered them.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 cups, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 small zucchini
1 small yellow squash
1 small onion
1 cup uncooked quinoa
1 tablespoon butter (or you may substitute some canola oil)
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Dice onion. Peel zucchini. Quarter the zucchini and squash lengthwise, then slice at approx 1 inch intervals to obtain somewhat large chunks. The sizes for the zucchini and squash should be big enough to survive some heat without getting flimsy. We also want them to physically be the star of our dish. The onion has a supporting role in flavor, and should be small enough to blend into the background.
  • Dissolve the chicken bullion into the 1 1/2 cup of water.
  • In a large pan over medium to high heat, begin to sautee the onion, zucchini, and squash using the butter (or oil). When the zucchini and squash just begin to soften, add freshly cracked pepper and salt. Continue cooking for one minute.
  • Add the water/bullion. Add the quinoa. Mix uniformly. Cover pan with a lid. Let the liquid just come to boil, then reduce heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes, covered and unstirred. Expect all the moisture to be absorbed by the quinoa when it is done. (Quinoa will cook like rice; one cup dry plus two cups wet yields 3 cups.). The squash and zucchini should still be sturdy, but cooked. Otherwise it was sauteed too long at the beginning.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with freshly cut tomatoes, or cucumbers. I like to serve this dish with recipezaar recipe # 15580, Grilled Moroccan Chicken, as shown in the photo.

  • Prepare two bowls - one with eggs, and the other with a mixture of almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Get a third bowl and place just enough of the flour mixture in it to cover the bottom in a thick layer.
  • Dip each zucchini/squash circle in the eggs, shaking off the excess. Place the circle into the third bowl (the one with just a little flour mixture). Use a spoon to dust more flour mixture (from the second bowl) over the top of the zucchini/squash circle (in the third bowl) to cover completely. Press lightly, then flip and cover the other side. (Use one hand for the egg and the other for the dry mixture, to avoid getting too much egg in the breading which will make it clumpy. You may want to add more dry mixture to the bowl in batches to avoid getting it too wet. It won't stick if it gets too wet.) Set the breaded slice aside. Repeat with all zucchini/squash slices, adding more flour mixture from the third bowl to the second as you go along. Doing this in batches this way prevents the breading from getting too wet/clumpy.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of oil in a pan over medium-high heat (adjust more/less oil as needed to prevent sticking). Fry the breaded zucchini/squash slices in a single layer, with a lid and without touching, about 2 minutes per side. When done, transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more oil if the pan gets dry.
