How to Make a Yummy Summer Vegetable Dish

A quick tasty way to cook those summer veggies.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 4 quart sauce pan
• colander
• skillet
• 1 medium size white onion
• 1 medium size acorn squash-pick out a long skinny one
• 1 zucchini squash - 6-8 inches long
• 1 red bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1-1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 large pinch thyme

1. Peel the onion and slice into 1/8 inch slices. Quarter the slices and separate the segments. Slice the acorn and Zucchini squash into thin (1/16 inch) slices. The slices from the fat end of the acorn squash should be quartered. Core the bell pepper, slice into 1/8 inch slices and quarter the slices. Put all the veggies in the colander and rinse well with cold water.

2. Fill sauce pan half full of water and put on burner and high heat. When it comes to a vigorous boil add the veggies and cook until they begin to soften - about 3 minutes.

3. Put the veggies back in the colander and let them drain. Melt the butter in a skillet. Put the veggies in the skillet. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and thyme. Stir thoroughly about 2 minutes until the veggies are all coated with the butter and spices.

4. Transfer to a serving dish or take individual helping right out of the skillet.

Tips & Warnings

• Any veggie you like may be added to the recipe. Vegetables like turnips or parsnips may need to cooked longer to soften them.
