Yellow squash how to#
How to make sauteed zucchini and yellow squash We are not going to salt the zucchini and squash that long but it uses the same principle. This is how you salt the cabbage to make kimchi. You sprinkle salt onto vegetables to draw the water out. The salting method (dry salting) is a common method in the fermentation process. So we are going to draw the water out before cooking them by salting the vegetables. As the vegetables cook, the water inside of the veggie gets heated and makes them mushy and soggy. Zucchini and yellow squash contain lots of water. How do you cook them without getting mushy/soggy? Although they are delicious, what if I don't want all the extra calories? After all, it's the swimming suit season! And to resolve the problem, this recipe was born. I want my vegetable to be crisp!

And squash isn’t just for main meals-they also make for great appetizers or snacks, whether you need something simple and last-minute or a more involved recipe. If you’ve got a lot of squash in different sizes, try it in a dish like ratatouille, stuffed in chicken, like in our chicken primavera, or covered in cheese, like in our scalloped zucchini- as long as you slice them (somewhat) evenly, it won’t matter if the squash themselves are bigger or smaller.
Yellow squash mac#
You really can stuff squash with ANYTHING: Try our mac & cheese stuffed zucchini, our burrito zucchini boats, or our chicken chowder stuffed zucchini for ideas. One of our favorite ways to use them is to stuff them, and for that you’ll want uniform, medium-sized squash with enough room for all the yummy fillings. That said, size does matter, depending what you’re doing with your squash. They’ll be tastier if you pick reasonable size ones for your meals.

Heads up, they can get HUGE during the summer, but remember: bigger isn’t always better.
