How do you cook squash?

• Views:    Font: [ Large Medium Small ]

cut them in small slices add country crock salt and peper to taste and put them in the microwave for a couple of minutes or until tender. YUMMY I cook it like you would mashed potatoes. Peel and cut squash, boil until tender, drain, add milk and butter then mash together!

You can boil them, or steam them. My favorite for the yellow squash is to fry them. Coat them in a little flower and seasoning and fry them up. In vegetable or canola oil is fine. I just use salt and pepper and I love it.

in a pot Well,
there are several options.
1. batter fried
2. stewed with onions and zuccini if you want (I hate this way)
2. You can also steam them which locks in the nutrients and they are much better for you, becuase you dont add the butter, oils etc..

Grilled! Slice according to how thick you like to eat it. Spray with cooking oil spray and grill. For added flavor sprinkle any spice that you like. Garlic, oregano, basil are our favorites. Then when almost done cooking to your preferred doneness put a pinch of parmesan cheese on each! Yummy and relatively healthy! Slice in rounds, then cooked in butter and garlic (with salt and pepper for seasoning). Once the squash pieces are tansparent, they're cooked.

The green ones are zucchini and the yellow ones are crookneck squash. Zucchini are wonderful fried, but not the small ones like you have (they'd take forever to cook, and you'd spend your time turning them over, etc.) I would suggest slicing them in half lengthwise, then slicing in half in the other direction (you'll end up with little half moon shaped slices). Put them in a steamer basket with a little bit of sliced or chopped onion, and let them steam. When they're finished, salt and pepper them and add a little butter. Yum! However, if you ever DO want to fry them, here's how: Slice your zucchini about 1/2 inch thick. Salt and pepper both sides to taste, and dredge in flour on both sides. In a large skillet, preheat vegetable oil or bacon grease until it's pretty hot, but not smoking. As for how much...not a whole lot. You don't wnat to deep fry them, but you also don't want them to stick! Drop the slices in, being careful not to burn yourself. When they're golden brown on one side, flip them over until they're done on the other side. Drain slices on papertowel and eat.

i do mine on the grill,,, cut up squash and onions,, put in reynolds wrap , add butter, salt and pepper or Mrs. dash seasoning,, wrap real tight with more aluminum foil, but leave a pocket open at top so you can check the squash for softness,, about a half hour if you have a small pile, about an hour if you have more than 8 squash,,, just keep checking for softness,,,, so yummy!!!!! go to allrecipes.com
