I invented a new dish tonight.
SUMMERTIME SUMMER SQUASH
Heat some olive oil in a medium-size skillet.
Cut up some shallot or garlic and saute.
Mash* some cherry tomatoes out of the garden. Add to the skillet.
Add some black pepper and 1/2 tsp dried rosemary or some rosemary from the garden.
Allow all this to cook for a while to develop flavor. Maybe 10 mins.
Spiralize a zucchini or a summer squash into the pan. Finely chop what doesn't spiralize and add it to the skillet.
Cover and cook gently until squash is cooked, maybe 15 minutes.
=======
* To mash cherry tomatoes - make a little slit in the skin by poking with the point of a knife. Place cherry tomato under a bench scraper and hit with the fist one or two times.
This was fun to eat - new texture and nice flavors. It went nicely with meatloaf and a salad. If you don't have cherry tomatoes, you can seed and chop up a regular tomato.
