ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND RED ONIONS



Roasted Butternut Squash and Red Onions image

Here is an easy, healthy addition to a Thanksgiving feast or weekday dinner from Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi, which was included in a Julia Moskin video feature in 2013. Chop up a few red onions and a butternut squash, roast them in high heat, and drizzle them with tahini sauce, herbs and pistachios. That's it. (Keep an eye on the onions, though. They may cook faster than the squash.)

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     dinner, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

About 1/2 cup olive oil, plus extra for pans
4 large red onions
Coarse salt and black pepper
4 pounds butternut squash cut into 1/2-inch wedges, peeled or unpeeled
1/3 cup pine nuts or shelled green pistachio nuts (optional)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley, mint, cilantro or a combination, for garnish
1/4 cup tahini paste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 small clove garlic, crushed

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 475 degrees. Lightly coat two large baking sheets with olive oil.
  • Peel onions, leaving root ends intact. Cut each onion in half from stem to root. Cut each half into 4 wedges, leaving the root intact so that each wedge holds together. Spread on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil.
  • Put the squash in a large mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and about 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss to coat. Spread on a baking sheet, peel side down (if intact).
  • Place both pans in oven and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, until the vegetables have taken on some color and are cooked through. Keep an eye on the onions, as they may cook faster than the squash and need to be removed earlier.
  • If using nuts, pour 1 tablespoon oil into a small frying pan and place over medium-low heat. Add nuts and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often, until the nuts are golden brown and smell toasty. Immediately remove from the heat and dump onto a cutting board to stop the cooking. If using pistachios, chop coarsely when cool enough to handle.
  • To make tahini sauce, place tahini in a bowl. Add lemon juice, 1/4 cup water, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk until sauce is the consistency of honey, adding more water or a tablespoon of olive oil if necessary.
  • When the vegetables are cooked, set aside until ready to serve. (The vegetables should be served the same day they are made. They can be served at warm room temperature, or reheated just before serving.)
  • To serve, combine vegetables on a large serving platter. If using tahini sauce, drizzle on top. Sprinkle herbs and, if using, nuts on top and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the butternut squash before adding it to the casserole: This will help to caramelize the squash and bring out its natural sweetness.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of sharp cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère cheese will give the casserole a rich and flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The butternut squash should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make the squash mushy.
  • Serve the casserole immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash and red pepper casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover butternut squash, and it's also a healthy and affordable meal. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and roasted vegetables, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
