Pattypan Squash Braised With Onion, Tomato and Chorizo image

Summer squash was the featured ingredient in last week's "The Way We Eat" column in the NY Times Magazine. At this time of year you can never have too many squash recipes, so although I haven't tried it, I thought I'd share this one with you. I can't wait to try this one with SoyRizo!
