- Place the butter in a large skillet and let it melt over low heat. Once it’s melted, add the onion and increase the heat to medium
- Stir and cook the onion slowly until it is softened and turns yellow -- about 15 minutes. Be careful not to brown the onion
- Add the squash and salt to the skillet and stir once. Place the lid on the skillet and let the onions and squash cook for 5 minutes over medium heat without opening the lid
- After 5 minutes, stir the squash and onions. Add the cold water
- Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil, cooking without the lid for 5 minutes
- Reduce the heat to low, and place the lid on the skillet. Continue to cook with the lid on, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes or until the squash is tender
- Season to taste, adding more salt and pepper as preferred
