Sauteed Summer Squash

Sauteed summer squash may not seem very interesting, but lets face it, how many of us cook our vegetables the same boring way, time and time again?  I am guilty of this, so I have decided to look far and wide for different recipes.   I served the squash with Parmesan Catfish.  (The recipe is Parmesan Catfish Nuggets, December 20, 2012)

Makes 4 servings

6 small summer squash
1 sweet chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
Pepper to taste

• Wash squash and cut into thin slices.  Place on clean paper towels
• Salt 1 side and let squash "sweat" for 10 minutes.  Blot and flip squash.  Repeat for another 10 minutes
• In a pan, melt butter.  Add oil and saute onions until soft a slightly brown.  Remove and set aside
• Add squash and cook on low until tender
• Add garlic powder, pepper and onions.  Mix and serve
