yellow squash

Matt Mead, the governor of Wyoming, recalls being taken out by his grandfather on the family ranch to shoot his first duck for Thanksgiving at age 9, when he was so small that his grandfather had to brace him from behind to help absorb the kick from the shotgun.

Game is found on many Thanksgiving tables in the state, but other traditions predate the hunt. The trinity of corn, beans and squash was central to the agriculture of the Plains Indians in what would later become Wyoming, and some cooks honor that history each Thanksgiving with a dish called Three Sisters stew. The writer Pamela Sinclair’s version is a highlight of her 2008 cookbook, “A Taste of Wyoming: Favorite Recipes From the Cowboy State.” The stew works nicely as a rich side dish for turkey, and can easily be adapted to vegetarian tastes by omitting the pork and adding a pound of cubed butternut squash instead.

Three Sisters Stew

pork loin,

cumin

Kosher salt, as needed

Black pepper, as needed

neutral oil,

yellow onion, diced

garlic cloves,

turkey or chicken stock,

yellow squash, diced

pinto beans, drained

black beans,

tomatoes

corn kernels

roasted green chiles (1/2 cup)

cilantro,

Season pork with cumin, salt and pepper. Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add pork, in batches if necessary, and cook, turning as needed, until lightly browned on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer pork to a bowl and set aside.

Add onion to pan and sauté, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, until lightly colored, 2 to 3 minutes. Return pork to pan, along with stock and squash, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes.

Add beans, tomatoes, corn and chiles and cook, uncovered, over medium heat until stew has thickened, about 40 minutes. Add cilantro and season to taste with salt and pepper.

David Venable, the most popular host on QVC, has a reputation for comfort food in its most cheesy, porky forms. But he is also a son of the South, and loves his summer vegetables. This recipe shows off his appreciation of both and is a delicious way to use up summer squash. It might seem daunting to peel 20 cloves of garlic, but you can make quick work of it by smashing the unpeeled cloves lightly with the side of a knife. The papery part will be easy to remove, and the cloves will still roast up mellow and soft. The resulting sauce is also excellent on sandwiches.

Summer Squash Fritters With Garlic Dipping Sauce

garlic cloves, peeled (about 2 heads)

mayonnaise

lemon juice

salt

black pepper

chives,

all-purpose flour

white Cheddar

garlic powder

eggs

beer

zucchini

squash

onion,

canola oil, for frying

Heat oven to 375 degrees, put garlic cloves in a small baking dish and add enough olive oil to cover. Roast until garlic is soft and golden, about 30 minutes. Cool.

Drain garlic, reserving oil. Transfer to a food processor, add 1 tablespoon reserved oil and the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper and purée. Transfer to a bowl and stir in chives. Use remaining oil for another purpose.

Prepare the dipping sauce:

Combine flour, Cheddar, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, gently whisk eggs with beer. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and stir until combined. Stir in zucchini, yellow squash and onion.

Heat canola oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Drop about 1 tablespoon of batter into the oil per fritter and fry 6 fritters at a time until golden-brown, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Remove to paper towels to drain. Serve hot, with the sauce on the side.

Add the zucchini and yellow squash in as even a layer as possible (it should sizzle as it hits the skillet) and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let it sit without stirring or moving for 2-3 minutes so it can get nice and golden. Give it a good stir, add a touch more salt and pepper to taste if needed, and let it continue to cook, stirring only every now and then, until the squash is browning here and there and tender to your liking, about 5-7 more minutes.

Skillet Zucchini and Yellow Squash {Favorite Summer Side Dish}

Grilling striped bass is a great way to cook the fish because the skin takes on a char that goes well with other strong flavors like oregano-laden chimichurri sauce. Usually paired with meat, chimichurri plays off of bass just as beautifully, as long as you use a light vinegar like champagne or rice wine, rather than balsamic. In preparing the fish, make sure the grill is hot first and be patient about flipping — you usually want about 4 minutes per side for a 7 to 8 ounce piece. Drop some local lacinato kale and thinly sliced yellow squash onto the grill as well for a charred vegetable side.

Grilled Striped Bass With Charred Kale and Yellow Squash

bass,

kale,

extra virgin olive oil,

lemon

red chili flakes

Salt

Chimichurri sauce (see recipe)

Coat the fish fillets with a few tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt.

Thinly slice the squash lengthwise, using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, and combine with the kale in a large bowl. Drizzle a couple tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables. Season with salt.

Place the prepared fish skin-side down on the grill. After about 4 minutes, or when the skin easily lifts off the grill, flip the fillets.

While the fish is cooking, place the kale and squash on the grill and watch carefully. Turn the vegetables the moment they begin to show grill marks.

Once they are charred on both sides, return the vegetables to the large bowl and toss with 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice and chili flakes.

Remove the fish from the grill after about 4 minutes on its second side, and top with a spoonful of the chimichurri sauce. Serve with the grilled vegetables.

Summer Squash Baby Food is a delicious, easy and&nbsp;must-have recipe for any parent with a new eater.  I'd bet you often&nbsp;wonder what vegetables to make for...

Summer Squash Baby Food

Yellow Squash, chopped

1. Place the squash in a steamer pot over boiling water and steam for 3 minutes, until the squash is fork tender. 

2. Transfer to a food processor and blend until smooth, adding the liquid from the steamer pot 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Best air fryer vegetables you will ever make are here! No breading, just seasonings and mixed vegetables cooked to perfection. A healthy side dish fave.

Air Fryer Vegetables

mushrooms

onion (sliced)

Italian seasoning

tsp garlic salt

tsp Lawrys (seasoned salt)

Slice zucchini and yellow squash into dials. The thinner they are the softer they will get. I would recommend 3/4&quot; thick so they all are the same consistency when done.

Slice mushrooms in half. Put all vegetables in a bowl and toss together gently. (if you want to add 1/2-1 full precooked sausage link diced into bite size pcs., add that now too)

Pour olive oil on top and toss gently, then sprinkle in all seasonings in bowl and gently toss one more time.

Add half of your vegetables into your air fryer, close, and set to 400 degrees for 10 minutes. I did not bother shaking or tossing halfway through and they came out amazing.

Remove, enjoy, and add other half at 400 degrees for 10 minutes to finish cooking batch.
