Pattypan squash in a crumble for dessert? Yes.
I love changing seasons. As much as I don't want to turn on an oven in the heat of the summer, as soon as the weather starts to turn cool I look forward to baking, stewing, and roasting.
I also relish the opportunity to look at a familiar vegetable in a new way. Like this patty pan squash. I'd cut it up, prepared to sauté it with something-or-other, then took the kids to the dentist. Lucky for us I also brought along a copy of Farmer John's Cookbook, because in that I discovered a new-to-me use for squash that I'd never make in the summer but is perfect for a cool fall evening. This recipe will work with any summer squash, but since my CSA box had this pretty patty pan I've used it.
