Name: Summer squash with Basil & Goat Cheese
Ingredients: 2 Tbsp Olive or Avocado oil; 4 medium zucchini or other summer squash, about 1.5 lbs.; 1/2 cup chopped onion; 2 cloves minced garlic; 4 medium tomatoes; 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled; 1 cup basil leaves; 1/2 tsp Kosher salt; 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

Description

Our favorite summer squash saute works well with zucchini or any other summer squash. A perfect accompaniment to grilled chicken or other meat, and also delicious or a veggie omelet the next day.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp Olive or Avocado oil
4 medium zucchini or other summer squash, about 1.5 lbs.
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves minced garlic
4 medium tomatoes
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
1 cup basil leaves
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

Instructions

Prepare all ingredients. Slice squash into approximately 1/4 inch slices. Chop onions, garlic. Peel and dice tomatoes (peeling is optional, but I prefer the finished dish without the tomato peel). Slice basil leaves into narrow slices.
Heat pan to medium heat, add olive or avocado oil, and saute onions until soft.
Turn up heat slightly and add zucchini/summer squash. Allow to brown slightly on one side, and turn over to continue browning.
Turn heat down and add garlic and seasonings.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook down until they release juices and squash appears to be almost cooked through.
Add basic leaves, additional salt and pepper, and goat cheese. Stir well and cook down just a minute or two until cheese is melted and basil is wilted.
