Stuffed Patty Pan Squash

Klatt farm ingredients used in this recipe: patty pan squash, garlic, swiss chard, beet greens

There are rows and rows of squash growing on the farm. Some are thriving and some are being eaten alive by squash bugs. Among all the winter squash we found a volunteer from last year - a patty pan squash. It wasn't planted this year but it returned to remind us that it is a tasty vegetable. Since we didn't know about it the patty pans got a little bigger than expected. It seemed like a good idea to stuff them - so we did.

Ingredients

2 medium patty pan squash. hollowed out. Save the inside bits but not the seed.
1 cup ricotta
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic
2 Tbs olive oil
3 cups of mixed greens (chard, kale, beet)
Italian Seasoning
salt & pepper

Directions:

1. Saute garlic, onion, patty pan, and greens in 2 Tbs olive oil.
Let cool
2. Mix greens with ricotta, raisins, salt & pepper, and a dash of
Italian Seasoning.
3. Stuff mixture into the patty pan shells.
4. Wrap the squash in silver foil (aluminium foil) and grill until tender.

Enjoy!
