Dill And Butter Squash Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the squash, water and onion. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until tender; drain. Stir in butter, dill and pepper.,

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Thoroughly wash zucchini and squash, and remove ends.
• Slice squash and zucchini lengthwise, then cut halves into thin slices.
• Add garlic, dill and onions to skillet, and cook for about a minute, stirring constantly.
• Add remaining ingredients and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 3 minutes or until crisp and tender.
• If there is too much water left in the pan, increase heat to medium-high and simmer uncovered until gone, stirring frequently.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Pick any debris from the lentils, then rinse the lentils under running water. Transfer them to a medium saucepan, then add the cinnamon, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Add enough water to cover everything by 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and let simmer until the lentils are tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Drain the lentils, discard the cinnamon and garlic, then transfer the lentils to a large bowl.
• While the lentils cook, prepare the squash: Trim and discard the top and bottom ends of the squash. Peel the squash, halve it lengthwise, and remove and discard the strings and seeds. Slice the squash crosswise 1/4-inch thick and place the pieces on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast the squash until completely tender, slightly caramelized and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let cool for 10 minutes. Once cool, add to the lentils.
• While the squash cooks, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, pomegranate molasses, honey, cumin, cayenne and black pepper. Taste and season to taste with salt.
• Sprinkle the feta, scallions and pumpkin seeds over the lentils and squash. Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dressing over the lentils and squash. Serve warm or at room temperature, with the remaining dressing on the side.

Steps:

• Slice the zucchini and yellow squash. Place the sliced vegetables in a large skillet or saucepan with the butter. Saute over a medium-low heat for 10 minutes before seasoning with salt, pepper and dill.
• Continue to saute for 10 additional minutes before adding the lemon juice. Stir the vegetables well and remove from heat. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Slice the squash into thin slices (1/4 to 1/2 inch thick). If it is a very large squash, you can cut these into halves or quarters to avoid serving large disks.
• Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat; spray with cooking spray.
• Add the squash and sauté several minutes or until tender-crisp (overcooking will produce squishier squash--when it starts looking soft, stop!)
• Toss with margarine and dill in the pan, stirring until evenly coated, and cook for another minute or so.
