Patty pans
It had been many years – at least ten - since I had seen patty pans for sale, so I was delighted to be able to buy some recently.
Patty pans (Cucurbita pepo) look rather like flying saucers. The name derives from the vegetable’s resemblance to a shallow baking pan used for cooking patties or pasties. It is an ancient crop, archaeological discoveries indicating that it was cultivated around 8 to 10,000 years ago in North America.
They are known by a variety of other names, including custard squash, and granny squash.
I cooked them in the air fryer with no dressing or seasoning and they were soft and delicious with our main fish dish.
