I invented this recipe on vacation when the produce stands were overflowing with young, tender zucchini and yellow squash. The secret is the sun-dried tomatoes. Enjoy! Ingredients:
6 dehydrated sun-dried tomatoes |
2 cups boiling water |
6 small zucchini, sliced |
6 small yellow squash, sliced |
1 sweet onion, chopped |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 teaspoon white sugar |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
salt to taste |
Directions:
1. Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl with the boiling water, and allow to sit 10 minutes. Remove tomatoes with a slotted spoon, and coarsely chop. Reserve the water.
2. Transfer the reserved sun-dried tomato water to a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Place the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, zucchini, squash, and onion in a steamer basket, and set over the boiling water. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Discard water.
3. Transfer the steamed vegetables to a bowl, and mix with butter, sugar, pepper, and salt to serve.
