Do you ever eat pattypan squash? I've been seeing a lot of them at the markets lately, it’s their peak season at the end of summer and it doesn’t last long, so now’s the time!

I thought maybe you weren't sure how to cook them, so here’s an idea. The coolest thing is to stuff them, given their perfect shape for that! You can eat the skin, the seeds too, there’s nothing to throw away! It's like a zucchini with a mild and slightly sweet flavor, and a slightly thicker skin (so it takes a bit longer to cook).

Here, I made a stuffing with a ground meat style filling (using soy protein) with Asian flavors of sesame and green onion, topped with a bit of soy cream!

Steps

Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C).
Cut off the stems of the pattypan squash. Scoop out the insides to remove as much flesh as possible. Set the flesh aside. Place the hollowed squash and the stems in a baking dish and put them in the oven for 20 minutes.
In the meantime, rehydrate the soy protein with lukewarm water. Add the soy sauce and toasted sesame oil. Also add the mashed patty pan squash that you have chopped into small pieces.
Slice the green onions and sweat them in a pan with neutral oil until they are well softened.
Add the soy protein to the pan and cook everything for about 15 minutes until the pattypan squash is tender.
Take the gratin dish out of the oven and stuff the hollowed-out pattypan squash with the filling. Add the soy cream and bake a second time for 40 minutes.
Serve with a nice green salad!
