Recipe
Steamed Yellow Squash with Seasoned Onions
Steaming keeps the squash delicate; the onions bring the flavor. Yellow squash rounds cook just until tender while onions soften in margarine with seasoned pepper and a pinch of sugar, then the two get folded together so the sweet, savory onions season every bite. Six servings in about twenty minutes — a Southern-table side with almost nothing to buy.
