Fried Squash

Crookneck Yellow Squash  -  Fresh from the garden.

Fried Squash

Oil, for frying
7 fresh squash, sliced
Approx. 1 cup of cornmeal
1 onion, diced
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Few shakes of onion powder

I always fry squash in an electric skillet.  Preheat skillet to 350 degrees add oil, just enough to lightly cover the bottom.  Combine squash, cornmeal and onions in a zip-lock bag and shake.  Carefully put squash/onion mixture into skillet.  Cover with lid.  Turn squash when browned - at this point you may need to add more oil.  (just a little, as needed)  While cooking; you will also need to tilt your lid to let the steam escape.

Right before squash is done sprinkle with salt, pepper and onion powder.
