Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 1.5 pounds) yellow squash
- 1 large onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Wash the yellow squash thoroughly and slice into thin rounds, roughly 1/4-inch thick. Peel and dice the onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Step 3
Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until softened and translucent.
Step 4
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the sliced yellow squash to the pan and toss to coat in the butter and oil mixture. Season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Step 6
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the squash cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly stewed.
Step 7
Uncover the skillet and stir in the heavy cream. Let the mixture simmer uncovered for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt or pepper.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Step 10
Serve Lane's Stewed Yellow Squash Stuff warm as a hearty side dish or a light main course. Pair it with crusty bread or steamed rice for a complete meal.
