Summer Squash Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Pickled Red Onion Relish

   Start by making the pickled red onion relish. Thinly slice the red onion and mix it with apple cider vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle.

2. 2

   Prepare Corn Purée

   In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the corn. Cook for about 5 minutes until tender. Drain and transfer the corn to a blender. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary for a purée consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Sauté Summer Squash

   Slice the summer squash into thin rounds. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the squash and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly golden. Season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Assemble the Dish

   On a plate, spread a layer of corn purée. Top with sautéed summer squash and a handful of fresh arugula. Finish with a generous spoonful of pickled red onion relish on top.
