| Simple Summery Ingredients |
Recipe inspired by Vicky and Live Earth Farm
If I had to pick only one vegetable to enjoy for the rest of
my life, I’d choose summer squash. Of course, that’s cheating because with the
near-infinite varieties of summer squash available, that’s hardly just one
veggie. Summer squash colors, from palest yellow through golden through spring
green to deepest emerald, delight the eye, particularly when prepared in
combination. I’m a big fan of plain steamed squash, but recently rediscovered
herb butters when my friend Vicky graced me with her back issues of Herb Companion magazine
(now sadly defunct). Then a quick look through our CSA’s recipe index revealed a
recipe for Lemon
Caper Squash, which gets a flavor boost from herb butter. Now is the
perfect time to harvest both squash and herbs from your garden, or find them at
your local Farmers’ Market. The season for both will soon be past, so let’s
revel in them while we can.
