Source of Recipe
LowCarbRecipeBox
2 pounds small summer squash
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground
black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
Cut the squash from stem end to blossom end into slices about 1/4 inch thick rounds. Fit a steamer basket in a pan, add water up to the basket level, and bring the water to a boil over high. Add the squash, season generously with salt and pepper, and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to low and steam until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter and sprinkle with the thyme. Cover to keep warm. Just before serving, drizzle with the olive oil and gently lift the slices of squash so the oil gets distributed. Sprinkle with the pine nuts and serve immediately.
Serves 8.
