Yellow squash recipes

[AnniePokely]

I have more squash than I know what to do with. Anyone have some good recipes?

[bleedorange]

Slice, dip in flour, fry in skillet, saltnpeppa, eat.

Repeat until vegetable drawer is empty.


That's the only yellow squash recipe you need. :p

My mother-in-law (from your neck of the woods) has a great recipe sorta like the one Bleedorange posted.

If you want to go all out there is a Lebanese dished called Kusa. Basically you core out the middle and stuff it with a mixture of ground beef, rice and spices. You place them in a large pot and cook them in a tomato sauce. Delicious and very healthy, ask any Simon women! I can get the recipe if that is something you would like to try.

Kousa

If medium size squash use 3-4

1 can 30oz pureed tomatoes

1 lb ground beef (lean)

1 cup long grain rice

1/2 tsp garlic salt

1/2 tsp of regular salt and 1/2 of pepper

1-1/2tsp of chopped garlic

Cut squash in half and core out the seeds. Take ground beef, rice salts and pepper and mix together. Take 1/4 cup of pureed tomatoes and mix in with ground beef mixture. In a deep skilet pour remaining tomato puree into the bottom then add chopped garlic and mix together. Take each half of squash and fill with ground beef mixture and place in skillet. Add as much water as needed to come up to the side of the squash. Cover and bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Simmer for 45-60 minutes. When I dish this out I usually add a little butter and salt and pepper.

I don't mean to be a jerk, bleed but there are a few things wrong about your recipe.

1. you need cinnamon, it's a must in any Lebanese dish that uses beef or lamb.
2. You don't cut the squash in half, you core it and fill it.
3. you don't add the tomato to the stuffing, you cook the stuffed squash in the tomato sauce.
4. It needs to cook for at least 3 hours.

Stuff it!

Then I'd be doing it the RIGHT way!

I suppose you make pizza with biscuit mix, spaghetti-o's and velveeta too!

[AnniePokely]

I was thinking more along the lines of casseroles, side dishes, etc..

Fried Squash is far & away the best recipe. Hands down.......


But, it is also good sliced into spears, and grilled.

Get an Eggplant Parmesean recipe and use squash instead.

Also, squash bread is good.

Sorry, no actual recipes, just ideas. But you can google em!

[BigBadBen]

Not a squash recipe, but fried green tomatoes sound good!

[AnniePokely]

I like fried squash, but it's just soooo greasy. I could try some fried green tomatoes. I have plenty.

[SeaOfOrange]

This recipe sounds pretty good.

Anyone have any suggestions for freezing squash? Do you freeze it whole or cut up?
