Yellow Squash - Summer Squash Recipe With Basil Thyme Garlic Lemon & Sun Dried Tomatoes
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Yellow summer squash with lemon, thyme, basil, garlic, and sun dried tomatoes is a healthy side dish with restaurant quality flavor! Join Eric from Simply Elegant Home Cooking as he demonstrates this amazing vegetable side dish recipe! One of the tricks to making this is to buy the best quality yellow squash that you can find. Today, Eric is using organic, locally grown squash from a nearby farm in Smithsburg, MD.
The best way to cook zucchini and squash is quickly, over medium high heat. When cooked using this method, the exteriors of the squash will get a nice sear and develop amazing color and flavor while remaining crisp. Be sure to prep all of your ingredients before beginning the cooking process as this dish comes together fast!
Ingredients:
-3 medium sized yellow Summer squash
-12 fresh basil leaves
-6 thyme sprigs
-2 garlic cloves
-6 sun dried tomatoes
-1/3 lemon
-1 tablespoon Italian extra virgin olive oil
-1 tablespoon butter
-salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-Remove the end from the squash and then cut the squash into medium sided discs. Cut each disc into a half circle.
-Remove the thyme leaves from the stems and then finely mince them with a sharp knife.
-Roll the fresh basil leaves, several at a time, and then slice thinly.
-Slice the sun dried tomatoes into thin strips and then chop across to cut them into small pieces.
-Crush the garlic cloves using a garlic press.
-Cut 1/3 of a lemon and reserve the remaining lemon for other recipes.
-Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat and allow it to come up to full temperature.
-Add the Italian extra virgin olive oil along with the butter and swirl to evenly coat the pan.
-Add in the yellow squash to the pan and stir to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about two minutes before turning. As you cook the squash, be sure to not only stir but flip the squash periodically to ensure that all surface area gets cooked.
-After about five minutes, turn the heat down to medium and add in the thyme and garlic. Stir to evenly incorporate the ingredients.
-Several minutes after adding the garlic and thyme, add in the sun dried tomatoes and continue to stir and flip the yellow squash.
-Once the squash is cooked to your desired liking, turn off the heat and juice the third of a lemon into the pan. Stir to incorporate.
-Add in the fresh basil, and give a final stir.
-Serve and enjoy!

You have presented one of the best demonstrations of a recipe! I can follow easily; you explained the 'whys'. And I am sitting here with 3 yellow squash from '1895 Certified Organic' farmer produce. We are South Jersey, high tomato season so I will roast some cherry tomatoes for the recipe. Obscene for a local to use anything other than those amazing Jersey fresh tomatoes at this time of peak season. Thank you for your easy to follow recipe!
Perfect timing for this great looking summer dish. Those golden yellow squash look delicious! Thanks for the tip on cutting the squash into 3 sections first. It is much more manageable. You have added a lot of flavor with the thyme, garlic and fresh basil. I bet you have a fresh basil plant in your kitchen. I will add a smidge of crushed red pepper flakes when I make this dish. I know your dish tastes as good as it looks!

Yellow summer squash is one of my favorite vegetables. Preparing it with sun-dried tomatoes, basil & red pepper flakes takes it to a high level of enjoyment. I especially love it with a grilled ham steak but it goes with a wide variety of entrees.

Funny you mention red pepper flakes...I meant to use them in this recipe but forgot. The squash still had a ton of flavor though.

If you had added them in this recipe, when would you have done that? And how much would you have used?
I made this last night, following the recipe exactly. The only thing I did at the end was sprinkle with some freshly shredded parmigiano reggiano. This was one of the best recipes I've ever had for squash! It is a keeper, for sure! WHERE did you get that awesome fresh thyme? Mine is always so thin and fragile that I have difficulty stripping the leaves from the stem without the stem breaking!!

I just made this, I didn't like it, but I didn't add the sun dried tomatoes and basil maybe that was why or because I added too much lemon lol.
