Squish's Squash -Buttery Yellow Squash With Cumin

"This is my favorite way to cook yellow squash.I think the cumin and butter really play up the fresh ,subtly sweet flavor.It really doesn't get easier than this.Serve with a Mexican /Southwest meal.You could play around with this and even make it Indian style to go with a curry.Yield is approximate."

  1. I loved the easy and delicious recipe. I crushed my cumin seeds. The cumin flavor really adds to the already great taste of summer squash. I cooked my squash a bit quicker so it would be overly soft. Thanx for shring!
