STEAMED YELLOW SQUASH WITH VIDALIA ONIONS

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.

STEWED SUMMER SQUASH AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Slice squash as thinly as possible- I use a mandoline to do this quickly.
• Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat.
• Add squash and onions and season then cover with water.
• Cook, stirring occasionally until water evaporates.
• Can be eaten at this point, but I like to cook it until it is almost brown, you just have to stir very frequently because it will stick pretty bad. Cooking it a long time will caramelize the vegetables and it becomes a sweet side dish. Warning- it isn't pretty, but it is tasty!
• Make this into a main dish by adding chunks of ham during cooking. Also delicious!

STEAMED YELLOW SQUASH

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.
