Mediterranean Squash - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 lb mushroom, thinly sliced
1 1/2 lbs yellow squash, cut crosswise into 1/4 inch slices
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves (or 1 1/2 tsp. dried thyme)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
6 medium roma tomatoes, cut crosswise into 1/4 inch slices
1/2 cup green onion, thinly sliced
1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled
2 oil-cured black olives, pitted and chopped
Preparation
-
Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a wide nonstick frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add half each of the chopped onion, mushrooms, squash and thyme. Stir fry until squash is hot and bright in color (about 3 minutes). Add 1/4 cup water and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the lemon juice to pan; cover and cook until vegetables are just tender to bite (about 3 minutes). Uncover and continue to cook, stirring until liquid has evaporated (about 3 minutes more). Remove vegetables from pan and set aside.
Repeat to cook remaining chopped onion, mushrooms, squash and thyme, using remaining 1 teaspoon oil; add 1/4 cup water and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice after the first 3 minutes of cooking.
Return all cooked vegetables to pan; gently stir in tomatoes. Transfer vegetables to a serving dish; sprinkle with green onions, cheese and olives.
