Ingredients:
- 2-4 yellow squash, very thinly sliced
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, (grass-fed, pasture-raised, if possible)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic, optional
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, optional
- Pink Himalayan salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Nutrition:
- Calories: 126 calories
- Place skillet over medium heat. Add butter and melt.
- Add onion and stir once to coat with butter. Saute for ten minutes, stirring halfway. Do not stir continually.
- Add squash and garlic, if using, and stir to coat with butter. Continue sauteing until onions are transparent and begin to be golden around the edges. Gently flip and stir every 5-10 minutes, taking care not to mash the squash as it becomes tender. If the vegetables start to stick to the pan, deglaze by adding a splash of water and scraping the bottom of the pan. The delicious fond morsels that come up from scraping will add to the flavor of the squash. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently.
