BEEF TZIMMES WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH
This is a Faye Levy recipe for the local weekend paper. Tzimmes can be made with meat or without. We usually have it without, as a side dish, but with meat it makes a great main course, very seasonal with the leaves turning color in the fall. This is not only perfect for Rosh Hashana, it's also great on Passover, and even for Thanksgiving.
