Timonium, MD Farmer's Market - Something to do with Your Purchases - Patty Pan Squash

Wednesday is usually market day in Timonium, MD, however, this week there is no market because of the Maryland State Fair. The Farmer's Market is held inside the main gate at Maryland State Fairgrounds. I have been writing a regular blog blog weekly about what to do with your purchases. I had several requests for this to continue. I decided to write it the day before so my readers could make a list before going to the market.

Most people walk by these succulent morsels and leave them because they look weird and they don't know how to cook them. With a little mixing and preparation these vegetables can be really tasty. This recipe is just something I made up because I bought these last week and needed to use them up.

Patty Pan Squash Stir Fry

6 - 8 medium Pattypan Squash - sliced

1 green pepper - cored and seeded and coarsely chopped

1 red pepper - cored and seeded and coarsely chopped

1/2 red onion - sliced

4 cloves of garlic - crushed and chopped

olive oil

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste - I use sea salt because it is lower in sodium and better for you than iodized salt)

Heat olive oil in a frying pan, add onions and garlic and some salt and pepper. Cover and let them sweat until just translucent. Remove the lid and add peppers and cook for a few minutes until getting a little less crispy. Add the Patty pan squash and cook for about 5 minutes, add more salt and pepper to taste and serve.
