Cooking Challenge: Yellow Squash

Chicken or Vegetarian Vindaloo (My Version)

1-2 C of cubed squash
2 Tbsp of Patak’s Vindaloo Paste
1 large onion, diced
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 red/yellow/orange pepper, diced
1-2 chicken breasts (optional for vegetarian meals)
1 can of chickpeas (rinsed)
Saute onions, chicken and curry paste, add everything else, bring to a boil and then simmer until cooked, about 20 mins. Serve over brown rice, or eat on its own. I like it with a generous dollop of plain yogurt. Serves 4

One of my favourites, very filling, high in fiber and good as a vegetarian meal as well.

I cooked this for the family tonight. I admit that I didn't use the Patak's paste but it was still absolutely lovely. I served curry with basmati and wild rice and a load of Mango Chutney. It is hot and sour as vindaloo should be and a real winner.

Gets my vote.

Squash Casserole

Ingredients
1 small Vidalia onion, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
Water
2 pounds yellow squash, cut into 1/2 to 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup good quality Light mayonnaise
1 1/2 cups grated Gruyere cheese
1 1/4 cups crushed butter crackers, divided

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a heated skillet, cook the onions, adding a little water to prevent them from burning. Cook until lightly brown, adding more water, if needed. Add the squash, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook until the squash is tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the mayonnaise, 1 cup of the cheese and 1 cup of the crumbled crackers. Pour the mixture into a 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and top with remaining 1/4 cup of butter crackers. Bake until the casserole is bubbly around edges, about 25 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven and serve hot.

Ok so I know I am late, but here is a good one with virtually no calories that I would like to share incase anyone is interested in it.

Cut up all of the vegetables in bite sized pieces. Put in vegie steamer (I use the one that looks like a statelight dish). Add Mrs. Dash and Pepper to taste. Steam until done. Serve. This is quick and easy! You can add more vegies if you want, these all taste wonderful tgether though.
