ZUCCHINI-SQUASH RIBBONS


Recommended Posts

Thought I'd share this with my friends..."Zucchini-Yellow Squash Ribbons".

 

1 large yellow squash

1 medum zucchini

1/2 cup diced onions (or sliced if you prefer)

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (or sliced if you prefer)

1 Tblsp. real butter

2 Tblsp. coconut oil

1 Tblsp. crushed cilantro

salt & pepper to taste.

 

Take your potato peeler and begin to "strip" the squash and zucchini, all the way down to the seed part. This will create long "ribbons".

 

In large skillet, put butter & oil and melt gently (don't burn!)

Add your "ribbons"...and then your onions, your peppers and cilantro.

Cook on low heat until everything is soft & tender and a bit brown.

Then add your salt & pepper

 

Works wonderful as a side, or if you want, put over rice.

 

We just love it!

Thanks Philbe. I've used zucchini and summer squash for a long time as a pasta substitute with tomato or other sauces. I have a french fry cutter that I use for them when I use them this way and I'm very careful that I just barely cook them so they stay a bit firm in or under the sauce. I've used a potato peeler on them as well but instead of cooking them I've sliced them right into bubbling hot sauce. They cook nice and fast that way.

 

I like your recipe too, can't wait to try them that way too. Oh, and yes, I use the inside portions in other recipes too. Not much goes to waste here either. LOL!
