Stuffed & Baked Pattypans

A seasoned patty pan flower :)

ready to eat!

These are beauties from my garden and after browsing plenty as to how to cook ‘em, I decided I will make a stuffed bake out of it! These squashes are as easy on the eyes as they are on the palate

The joy of cooking home grown abounds and “homegrown” will probably be my most favorite words for the summer!

This is a super healthy recipe and SO easy to make – I feel so good and pleased if I make a wonderful new dish and it is SO easy to make!

Ingredients

Pattypan squash (as many as you need or have)

Stuffing Ingredients

2- 3 tomatoes

1 onion

1 cup of cottage cheese

Spices:

Oregano

Pepper

Basil

Green chili 2-3

Turmeric

Fresh sage

Fresh Garlic chives

With the turmericborders

Preparation

Slit the pattypan head exactly where the flowery edges are and scoop the seeds out – keep the head of the squash to use with a different recipe (hope to blog this too)

I used Turmeric as a decoration around the edges of the flower and for more beautiful pictures, besides of course the wonderful flavors it brings to the dish

Make the stuffing

In 1 tbsp of olive oil, sauté the stuffing like you would a sauce, making sure to add the cottage cheese last and set aside

Prepare the patty pan by adding the same spices and some sea salt, so that it does not taste blah by itself

Now add the stuffing into the scooped hole in the patty pan

Grate some parmesan on top of it and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees

Eat hot…
As always, love you all and see you in your blogs soon
