Sauteed Yellow Squash
Posted by Caveman Cooking on January 9, 2010
A very easy, healthy, and delicious side dish that goes well with just about any meal.
INGREDIENTS
2 Large Yellow Squash
1/2 Sweet Onion
1 Tbsp. Minced Garlic
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to tatse
RECIPE
Mince garlic, chop squash into 1/2 inch semi-circles, and cut onion into 1-2 inch long 1/4″ strips. Set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over high flame (if using a regular pan double the amount of oil). Add garlic and saute quickly (less than a minute). Add squash and onions, salt and pepper to taste. Saute until onions become translucent (about 2-3 minutes).
Serve as a vegetable side dish with almost any main course you can think of. Just in case you were wondering, yes, I over cooked this batch slightly! 😉 But, it was still gooooood!!
Prep Time = 10 minutes
Cook Time = 5 minutes
Serves 2-4

Oh, that photo is a real beauty! Funny, I was just thinking about squash yesterday (haven’t had it since summer) and now here’s a lovely recipe with photos that make my mouth wather. Thank you, Caveman! I’m off to the green grocer!

Thank you so much, PT!
Some of the shots are taken with a Canon PowerShot S5 IS. Though, more recently, most of the shots are taken with an EOS Digital Rebel XSi 12.2MP mounted with either a Canon 50mm portrait lens or a nice Canon 17-55mm lens. Either of which makes a huge difference! Much less post-production needed when using a tool like that. It helps having a pro-photog in the cave, too! 😉
