Patty Pans

Where I work, whenever someone with a garden has any excess they bring it to work and leave it out for others to take.

Last night I scored some really lovely cherry tomatoes - I had a bruschetta pasta dish. The tomatoes, garlic, generous amounts of grated parm, and topped it with crisp prosciutto.

Today I scored about 12 prune plumes (the small Italian plums), a big zucchini, a lb of green beans, and 2 patty pan squash. The zucchini and green beans are going to be dinner. I'll make tempura out of them I think. I'm tired of my regular zucchini and green bean recipes.

The plums I'm good for just noshing on straight. They are WONDERFUL but if someone has an amazing recipe for them I'd love to hear it.

However I've NEVER eaten a patty pan. What on earth do I do with them? I"m not a big squash lover..... but I wanted to try something new. I wouldn't enjoy roasting them, I don't care for the flavor of squash... and they can't be stuffed with any kind of meat or fish (I only get meat one night a week and I want it to be STEAK or a ROAST).

Any ideas?

    For me, I like to cut them up and add them to chicken and barley soup. I don't find them very often anymore.
