Stuffed Summer Squash and Sauteed Green Beans with Peppers

Sauteed Green Beans with Peppers:squash

Chop purple spring onions, garlic, marconi peppers, tomato, and basil. Trim ends from green beans.

Saute onions, garlic, and peppers with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, 5 minutes.  Add chopped tomatoes, cook for 2 minutes.  Add green beans and some stock.  Cover; steam until beans are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally and adding more stock as needed to avoid sticking.  Add chopped basil near the end of cooking.

Stuffed Summer Squash:

Trim ends from squash and boil, 5 minutes.  Meanwhile, chop purple spring onions and garlic.  Cube some crusty bread (rice, quinoa, or lentils would also be good).  Grate Parmesan cheese.  Add these ingredients to a bowl with a beaten Fair Ridge Farms egg, salt, pepper, and 1/2 tbsp melted butter. Stir to combine.

Cut boiled squash in half, lengthwise, and use a spoon to hollow out the halves.  Chop the flesh of the squash and squeeze out excess water.  Add to the breadcrumbs mixture and stir.

Put hollowed squash halves in a baking dish and sprinkle with salt.  Spoon the filling mixture into the halves.  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
