I picked up a 2 lb package of yellow and green baby patty pan squash along with baby zucchini...what should I do with these. Raw, cooked?
Maybe just half them along with some chunks of onion
and BACON lardons
in a medium-hot pan a little olive oil and some of that rendered grease, maybe some minced garlic too,
saute to a crisp tender and you've got me in the palm of your hand
Oh, I love those babies. My first thought was shred them and make a slaw. I've got slaw on my mind though, since I just made a broccoli/carrot slaw earlier today.
You could shred them, mix with beaten eggs, and make squash pancakes. Ina has a good recipe for zucchini pancakes, and I'm sure you could use the patty pan as well.
And like kgirl suggested, chunk them up and lightly sauté with some onions and garlic, and maybe a little thyme. Oh, the possibilities...!
I would cut the tops off scoop out the innards and stuff them.
Chop the meaty portion of the innards, saute them with some onion, sausage, herbs etc... Mix them with breadcrumbs cheese an egg and pile it back into the shells and bake them at 375 for 30 minutes or so, until the squash is tender and the filling is hot.
So Pf, did you and Shrek have your Patty pans yet?
