Ingredients

Method

  1. Take a very young summer squash, which if it be young enough need not be pared, and cut it into small pieces.
  2. Fry half an onion in a tablespoon of butter, and when transparent and beginning to brown add the squash to it and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Let all cook together for ten minutes, and then add 1/4 of a cup of hot water, and let cook until the squash is quite tender.
