Summer Squash...Fried!

One of my favorite summer side dishes is fried squash!  Tonite we had some, fresh from the farmer's market, with onion rings as well!

Pour canola oil into a cast iron skillet about a half inch deep.  Turn on heat to med high to get the oil hot, for frying.

Pour out about 1-2 cups flour onto a plate.  Beat one egg with some milk in a bowl.  Slice one zucchini, one yellow squash and 1/2 yellow onion into 1/4 inch slices.  By the handful, dunk the squash and onions in the egg mixture, then coat with flour, shaking off excess and then dropping in the hot oil. Don't crowd the pan, and make sure oil sizzles - or it's not ready.  (test it with one slice).  When golden on edges, flip over and fry other side.

Line a dish with paper towels, and using a scoop, remove the golden fried veggies onto the towels to drain.  Sprinkle with kosher salt.

This tastes so good as a side dish, along with fresh sliced tomatoes!
