I assume it's a summer squash. A green one would be zucchini. The
zucchini I'm familiar with are harvested at about eight inches to a foot
long. They grow much much larger.
If the zucchini are smaller, as you would see store bought, I steam half
inch or less but roughly uniform rounds for five to seven minutes, toss
in butter, salt and pepper and serve. There are a million other recipes.
If the zuchinni is two feet long and several inches thick, I've been
given many but cooked none.
Of course, they could be a different squash.
