Squash receipes

[PaulaSB12]

I am looking for ways to cook acorn squash, crookneck summer squash and patty pan squash please. My allotment is producing a nice amount of these and I haven't the faintest idea of how to cook them (they sounded fun which is why I grew them)

I like them best with some olive oil brushed on thick slices, with salt and pepper and grilled.

SQUASH MEDLEY
2 slices diced bacon
1 med. chopped onion
3 med. sized yellow squash, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 med. zucchini, cut into 1/4 inch slices
2 med. tomatoes, cut into eights
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. basil leaves
1/2 tsp. sugar

Fry bacon in large skillet until almost crisp. Add onion, squash and tomatoes. Sprinkle with remaining ingredients. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring several times. Makes 5-6 servings.


Grandma's Squash Casserole
2 lbs. fresh yellow squash (cooked and drained)
1 carrot, grated
1 onion, grated
1 cup sour cream
1 can Cream of Chicken soup
1 stick margarine, melted
½ pkg. Pepperidge Farm Herb Stuffing

Grease large casserole dish. Sprinkle ½ of the stuffing on the bottom of dish. Combine all other ingredients. Pour squash mixture into casserole dish. Top with remaining stuffing. Bake at 350° until bubbly.


Squash Relish
Wash and cut/dice into small pieces:
8 cups yellow squash
2 cups onions
3 green bell peppers (I also use red bell peppers)

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of salt over veggies. Let stand for 45 minutes. Rinse well with running water.

Combine in a large pot:
2 ½ cups sugar
2 tsp. mustard seed
2 cups vinegar
2 tsp. celery seed

Bring to a boil. Add vegetables and bring to a brisk boil. Seal in hot sterilized jars while hot. Leave 3/4 inch headspace for sealing. Let relish rest for 2 wks to get good taste. Yields 5 pints.

Mmmmmmmm
the squash medley and grandma's squash casserole both sound really good! i think i'm going to try to turn my family into squash eaters this fall!!!!

isn't raw squash too hard to slice (and grill)?

 

[ENSOCK]

the website cookinglouisiana.com has a great recipe for the patty pan squash. It makes them into a dessert.

The yellow squash I love to cook down with some shrimp or slice them and put them on the grill.

oh wait, i think i'm thinking of the wrong kind of squash! are we talking about the small kind like the yellow and zucchini squash? or those gourd types like butternut, acorn, etc? that's why i thought it would be too hard to slice and grill

 

[PaulaSB12]

Both sorts I have butternut, buttercup, acorn and all sorts never grown them before but will be doing it again next year. Thanks for the help.

I'm not sure if this is the same recipe she used but I am copying this recipe to make it soon. MMMMMMMMM
