Squash: Patty Pan

This is a summer squash, also known as scalloped, and is a soft skinned very versatile vegetable.  We tend to always include this veggie in our weekly meals while they are in season. One of our “go to” preparation for squash, is grilling it, as we enjoy cooking outdoors during the summer because our house is kept cooler when we aren’t heating up the kitchen. When cooking indoors, baked patty pan is great, but you can’t go wrong roasting squash in the oven, or simply sauteing it with other summer veggies is delicious. Summer squash (or winter squash) is excellent in enchiladas, in quesadillas, or in burritos because you can adapt these recipes to almost any vegetable that is in season.  You can’t let a summer go by without making a squash casserole or ratatouille. Then of coarse, this veggie is great in a gratin or in a torte.

Sold in 1 pound bags.  From 1 to 4 Squash depending on the size. Colors may vary depending on the variety being harvested.
