Chile-Lime Charred Squash

Prep: 5 min

Total Time: 20 min

Servings: 4

Notes:

Charring the squash in a skillet quickly adds smoky flavor without having to fire up the grill. Best served right away, this side pairs well with grilled chicken and rice.

Ingredients

1 Tomato

1 seeded Fresno Chile

2 tablespoons Lime Juice

3 tablespoons Olive Oil, divided

½ teaspoon Kosher Salt

½ cup sliced Onion

2½ cups sliced Yellow Squash

4 tablespoons Fresh Mint, 2 tablespoons chopped and 2 tablespoons sliced

Instructions

Process 1 tomato, 1 seeded Fresno chile, lime juice, olive oil, and kosher salt in a blender until smooth.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sliced onion; cook 1 minute. Add sliced yellow squash; cook over high until just charred, 7 minutes. Add tomato mixture and sliced fresh mint; bring to a simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh mint.
