Experiment 232: Perfect Summer Squash

Perhaps it is only hunger, but I made what may be a perfect summer squash dish tonight for dinner. I'll have to try repeating the success at a later date.

One Large Non-stick Skillet (I used my big stainless steel one)
Olive Oil
One Large Yellow Onion
3 Cloves Garlic
3 Small Yellow Summer Squash
Belgian Style Beer
1/2 Teaspoon Cumin
Salt
1 Ounce Cheese

Chop up the onion and mince the garlic. Heat up the pan until a drop of water dances and evaporates in about a second or two. Put in olive oil until the surface is well coated and then put in the onion. Sauté the onion as you cut up the squash into pieces no bigger than a US Quarter and only a little thicker. Put in the garlic when the onion is getting pretty brown, but not yet completely done. Add the squash when the onion and garlic are getting quite brown. Deglaze with some good ale when the brown bits stuck to the pan start to verge on too brown. Add your cumin and salt and cook until all the liquid is evaporated and bits are starting to stick again. Then add cut up cheese and turn off the heat after about half a minute or so. Move everything around so the cheese melts, scraping up any bits that start to get stuck. Serve more or less immediately.
