Minted Squash Casserole

Zucchini, bright yellow crookneck, and cymling, or pattypan, squash are local favorites. These summer, or soft-shelled, squashes are often steamed with onions or sautéed with tomatoes. Many Lowcountry cooks stuff them or put them in casseroles. Every recipe I’ve seen for a squash casserole tells you to parboil the squash, but I never do.

The mint is a delicious addition to this southern classic.
