One of my dear friends, dropped off some fresh produce. Cukes, Zucchini,and this lovely (Sunburst)yellow Pattypan Squash. I hope you enjoy this little fast and easy recipe. I fried it in a skillet on top of the stove. I am sure a you can oven fry it also. I love horseradish sauce, you can use any dip you have a taste for. Same way with the coating. Maybe Panco?..Yummy! This makes a delicious appetizer. Squash information at the bottom of recipe. Nancy.(Finnjin)..8/9/13
