pattypan squash
A round, flattish summer
SQUASH with a scalloped edge. Tender young pattypans can be identified by their pale-green skin (which turns white as the
SQUASH matures) and small size (3 to 4 inches in diameter). The thin skin, which can be smooth to slightly bumpy, is usually not removed. Pattypan
SQUASH can be cooked in the same manner as other summer
SQUASH. See also
SQUASH.
