spicy-squash-intro.jpg
This is a simple recipe for summer squash and zucchini with a spicy twist. This dish will need two zucchini, two summer squash, one onion, and one jalapeño. If you like you can add extra vegetables or peppers, in this case I will be adding a sweet banana pepper because I love the taste. This recipe will serve 4-6 people.
Total Preparation and/or Cooking Time: 30 Minutes
Step 1:
