ingredients
directions
- 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!

I lived in the South for 30 years and was taught a different way for preparing stewed yellow squash from a true native. You put the squash, onions, and water in a large pan with enough water to cover it and boil until the squash is tender and then drain in a colander. You mash it with an old fashioned potato masher and add lots of butter and pepper to suit your taste.

I am a stay at home mom to three young boys. I used to work as a pediatric speech language pathologist and that is when my husband coined my "name" but after the second baby I came home to stay- at least until they all get to school. I enjoy trying new dishes and am slowly trying to expand my family's (and my own) comfort zone for new foods. Thanks for allowing me that opportunity!
