It’s hard to believe that summer has essentially come and gone but, thankfully, our local farm stands still have a plethora of summer veggies. I was drawn to local produce during a recent shopping trip. I wound up walking out of the store with a ton of summer squash and zucchini so I know there will be a ton of recipe playing going on this week. I tend to grill veggies in the summer but there are times I just want to switch it up.
Whenever I’m looking for a bit of culinary inspiration, I have a number of sites I trust. One of the sites I find myself perusing often is Yahoo! Food. Yahoo! Food features great cooking tips, delicious recipes, fabulous cocktails, videos and techniques that I wish was available when I started my culinary journey all those years ago. The photos are always gorgeous and the recipes and articles are curated by a top notch team who have written for Bon Appetit, Gourmet and Huffington Post – essentially, if you are looking for a fabulous idea for dinner, Yahoo! Food has you covered. Also – they work with such publications and sites like Food52, Epicurious and Martha Stewart Living.
I found an excellent recipe from Yahoo! Food’s Alex Van Buren for a Sautéed Summer Squash that wove in the flavors of tarragon. Tarragon is one of those herbs that I don’t use enough – it’s got a bit of an anise flavor that played well with the summer squash and zucchini. This dish came together in a flash and will be added to the culinary repertoire every spring/summer. This is a recipe you are going to want to make before the summer squash and zucchini disappear from the farmers’ markets.
Let’s get cooking:
