Yellow Squash with Blistered Tomatoes
Description
This recipe uses small yellow squash quartered and sliced to about a third of an inch thick, cooked briefly in a mix of butter and olive oil over medium-high heat alongside minced garlic. The squash is seared until barely tender, then pushed aside to blister grape tomatoes, which cook until their skins begin to crack without fully breaking down. Fresh thyme is stirred in just before removing from heat for an herbaceous note.
The texture contrasts between the softly cooked, slightly crisp squash and the tender, juicy burst of blistered tomatoes create a light and fresh vegetable side. The use of Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top imparts a subtle umami richness that complements the buttery notes from the cooking fat. This dish is served warm and works well accompanying meats or as part of a vegetable-filled meal.
