Garden of Adam: Yellow Summer Squash

One of the most simple and delicious side dishes my family makes is southern style summer squash; a recipe that Great Grandmother Bush would cook. We've changed it ever so slightly to make it a bit healthier but the heart is still there and tastes even better if it's squash taken from your own garden!!

You will need:

1 Sweet Onion Chopped
2.5-3 lbs Yellow Summer Squash Chopped
1 Table Spoon Butter
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Serves 4-6 as a side dish

Ingredients

Prep & Cook Time 2 hrs give or take

Preheat the largest skillet/frying pan you have this can be done as you prep and chop. Start by chopping the onion a ruff chop is fine everything breaks down as you cook perfection not needed just a ruff uniformity. Once you have the onion chopped put the pad of butter and onion is the pan and let them sweat down a little. Then go back to do more chopping, this time the squash.

Again you are just looking for a ruff uniformity chopped squash not perfection. Stir the onions occasionally as you chop and add the squash as you get them all cut up. Stir occasionally it's fine if you get a little color on the squash and onions but you're really just looking to cook out moister and soften the squash. Once all the squash and onions are chopped and in the pan turn down the head to medium-low stirring occasionally for the next hour and a half. You want to cook the squash down until its all tender you can cover the pan or add a splash of water if you fell it's getting too dried out.
