Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Steamed Squash Medley with Sun-Dried Tomatoes Delight.
Step 1
Start by placing the dehydrated sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl and pouring 2 cups of boiling water over them.
Step 2
Allow these flavorful gems to soak for about 10 minutes, letting their rich taste and texture soften beautifully.
Step 3
Once they’re ready, use a slotted spoon to lift the tomatoes from the water and chop them coarsely.
Step 4
Set the chopped tomatoes aside, but don’t toss that soaking water just yet; it’s packed with flavor and will be used soon.
Step 5
Next, pour the reserved sun-dried tomato water into a saucepan and bring it to a lively boil.
Step 6
While that’s heating up, grab a steamer basket and combine the chopped sun-dried tomatoes with sliced zucchini, sliced yellow squash, and chopped sweet onion.
Step 7
Place the steamer basket over the bubbling water, creating a cozy steam bath for your veggies.
Step 8
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the steamer, and let the vegetables steam for about 15 minutes, or until they’re tender and vibrant.
Step 9
Once they’re perfectly cooked, transfer the steamed vegetables to a serving bowl.
Step 10
Add a touch of butter, a sprinkle of sugar, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Step 11
Toss everything together gently, allowing the flavors to mingle, and serve warm.
Step 12
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s not only colorful but also bursting with deliciousness!.
