Mediterranean Style Yellow Squash Microwave Medley Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN SAUTEED YELLOW SQUASH RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add sweet onions and cook for about 4 minutes until translucent (you can raise heat to medium-hot and toss onions regularly.)
• Add garlic, yellow squash, and red bell peppers. Drizzle a little more extra virgin olive oil.
• Season with salt, pepper, and spice mixture. Toss with a wooden spoon to make sure vegetables are well coated with the spices. Cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally, until squash and peppers are nice and tender (I like my squash to have some carmalized parts, so it helps to raise the heat for a little while.)
• Transfer to a serving platter. Add another drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a generous pinch of za'atar. If you like, add a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese, pitted olives, and a handful of chopped fresh herbs like parsley. Enjoy!

MEDITERRANEAN SQUASH

Steps:

Stir fry until squash is hot and bright in color (about 3 minutes). Add 1/4 cup water and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the lemon juice to pan; cover and cook until vegetables are just tender to bite (about 3 minutes). Uncover and continue to cook, stirring until liquid has evaporated (about 3 minutes more). Remove vegetables from pan and set aside.
