Summer Squash & Grains
I had this dish as part of my mail-order meal plan, but of course when I subsequently made it on my own, I changed it up a bit and have made it several times since! PS – the photo doesn’t do it justice, it’s delicious!
1 medium sized zucchini or squash
1 cup of rice, farro, barley or other grain (cook as directed)
1 T. creme fraiche (or sour cream or plain Greek yogurt if you can’t find creme fraiche)
1 lime, zested and juiced (or try with lemon!)
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut the zucchini or squash into small cubes and toss with a bit of olive oil and seasoning salt (I use Montreal Steak Seasoning). Spread out on a nonstick cooking sheet or pan and roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until browned. Cook the rice or grain according to directions, drain if needed. Add the roasted zucchini or squash, lime zest and juice, and creme fraiche. Toss and add salt and pepper to taste.
