We eat a lot of "whatever's on sale" at the grocery store. Lately, that has included summer squash and I am totally okay with that because I love it so much, as does the rest of the family.
This preparation is moderately fussy as far as squash is concerned, but I assure you it's worth it.
Ingredients
2 - 3 Summer squash (zucchini, yellow, Mexican - whatever)
Garlic (loads - 4 - 5 cloves at least, chopped)
Balsalmic vinegar
EVOO
Salt/Pepper
Optional: parmesan cheese
Slice the squash lengthwise into 3 strips (I prefer them simply cut in half it they're smaller) and put into a Ziploc bag. Add the rest of the ingredients (how much balsalmic and evoo? I'd guesstimate about 1/8 cup of each, possibly more). Marinate as long as you have time and then cook on the grill. After cooked, return to the marinade prior to serving.
If your grill isn't going, you can broil in the toaster oven (my favorite appliance in the summertime) for about 8 minutes per side, or until cooked.
It gets even better the day after, having soaked up all that delicious marinade.
(It's also quite delicious chopped up and thrown into scrambled eggs the next morning)
