QUICK GARDEN VEGGIE PLATTER

This is one of my favorite recipes from a microwave cooking class I took over 25 years ago. It's exceptionally colorful, and awfully good, as well as good for you.

QUICK GARDEN VEGGIE PLATTER

2 small yellow summer squash, sliced
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 small white onion, sliced and separated into rings
1 tomato, thinly sliced
½ t salt
½ t basil
½ t thyme
2 T grated Parmesan Cheese (optional)

Using a glass pie plate microwave 2 T of butter until melted.
Stir onion rings into butter and microwave for 1 minute.
Mix in squash and tomato, stirring to coat
Sprinkle with salt and herbs
Microwave mixture on high 2 minutes or until squash is crisp-tender.
(Actual time depends on individual microwave.)
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese while hot and serve immediately

Feeds 3 or 4.


Enjoy!
