Curried Lemon Yellow Squash
 
 
Ingredients
  • 2 Large yellow squash
  • 1 Medium onion
  • 1 Lemon
  • 1-2 Tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 Tablespoon (or to taste) curry powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste (check label on your curry powder to see if it contains salt. If so, be careful not to over salt.)
Instructions
  1. Slice squash into thin slices, about an ⅛-inch thickness.
  2. Slice onions into thin slices
  3. Using a microplane grater* or the smallest holes on a box grater, lightly remove the yellow from the lemon, otherwise known as the zest. Be careful to rub lightly and only remove the yellow, you do not want the white pith underneath.
  4. Heat a thin layer of oil in a large fry pan that has a lid. Add onions and sauté a few minutes until beginning to soften. Add lemon zest and stir.
  5. Add curry powder, stir to combine for one minute over heat.
  6. Add sliced squash and stir to combine. Lower heat to medium low and cover fry pan for a few minutes until squash softens.
  7. Remove cover, add juice of half lemon, or to taste. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. To serve as a soup: Add broth to squash to thin out as a soup. Add cooked rice and chicken. Stir to combine and heat through. Add a squeeze of lemon, to taste.
  9. *Once in a while I will recommend products that I use and consider a key tool in the kitchen. The link is to Amazon to show a picture and make it easy to purchase. While I do receive a minuscule credit, I only mention tools I use myself and think will be helpful. Most of what I mention will also be available at any major kitchen store or sometimes Target.
  10. Following is a link to the microplane grater I use all the time for removing citrus zest and grating ginger and garlic with much less effort than a box grater.

  12. I also use the following citrus juicer. It is the quickest way for me to extract the juice without the seeds. Easy enough for my kids to use for lemonade, too.
