apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Let's stand up for the baby pattypan. The baby pattypan has its own unique crown shape and an olive-oil like flavor that cries out for attention.

While baby pattypans can work in recipes created for zucchini or yellow summer squash, we've been hunting all summer for recipes that were created just for the little pattypans. Isn't it a shame to slice them up when their shape is so perfect on the plate?

Until this weekend, we hadn't had much luck in our recipe hunt. The recipes we found were either re-hashed summer squash recipes or called for hollowing out the center of the squash and stuffing it (That's great for a restaurant, but a little labor intensive for our weekday summer cooking style).
