About Patisson

Patisson, also called pattypan squash, is a summer squash with a distinctive flattened, round shape and scalloped or lobed edge. The skin may be pale green, white, or yellow, while the flesh is light-coloured and tender when young. It is sold whole and may be harvested small or at a larger size.

Its flavour is mild and gently vegetal, and the flesh can be cooked by steaming, roasting, sautéing, or stuffing. Young specimens may be cooked with tender skin, while larger ones can have firmer skin and more developed seeds. Patisson refers to the squash itself, not a prepared dish or a particular cultivar colour.
