Cook Summer Squash
The "summer" squash - zucchini, crookneck, pattypan, and other smaller, delicate squash - taste best steamed or sauteed. As with most recipes you can add your own flavor to the suggested cooking instructions below. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Boil sliced summer squash in salted water for 3 to 5 minutes (depending on the size of your slices) or until tender.
2. Steam slices or chunks of summer squash for 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the size of the slices.
3. Microwave slices or chunks of summer squash with a little water for 4 to 6 minutes.
4. Saute sliced summer squash over medium-high heat, with olive oil and garlic, for 5 minutes, or until browned in places and tender.
5. Grill thick slices of oil-brushed summer squash over medium coals for 5 minutes per side.
6. Try summer squash with finely chopped mixed fresh herbs (perhaps parsley, summer savory and marjoram) and lemon or butter.
