BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SAGE LATKES



Butternut Squash and Sage Latkes image

Winter squash and sage is one of my favorite flavor combinations. Make sure to squeeze as much juice out of the onion as you can before you add it to the other ingredients.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield About 25 latkes, serving 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 medium onion, grated
6 cups grated butternut squash (1 3-pound squash)
1/4 cup chopped or slivered fresh sage (more to taste)
1 teaspoon baking powder
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons oat bran
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
About 1/4 cup canola, grape seed or rice bran oil

Steps:

  • Place the grated onion in a strainer set over a bowl while you prepare the other ingredients. Then wrap in a dishtowel and squeeze out excess water, or just take up by the handful to squeeze out excess water. Place in a large bowl and add the squash, sage, baking powder, salt and pepper, oat bran, and flour. Taste and adjust salt. Add the eggs and stir together.
  • Begin heating a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Heat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Place a rack over another sheet pan. Take a 1/4 cup measuring cup and fill with 3 tablespoons of the mixture. Reverse onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining latke mix. You should have enough to make about 30 latkes.
  • Add the oil to the pan and when it is hot (hold your hand a few inches above - you should feel the heat), use a spatula to transfer a ball of latke mixture to the pan. Press down with the spatula to flatten. Repeat with more mounds. In my 10-inch pan I can cook 3 or 4 at a time without crowding; my 12-inch pan will accommodate 4 or 5. Cook on one side until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide the spatula underneath and flip the latkes over. Cook on the other side until golden brown, another 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the rack set over a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm.
  • Serve hot topped with low-fat sour cream, Greek style yogurt or crème fraîche.

Yield Makes 38 to 40

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 2-pound butternut squash, halved lengthwise, seeded
4 tablespoons olive oil (not extravirgin), divided, plus additional for frying
8 large fresh sage leaves
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 cup chopped shallots (about 6)
3/4 cup fine dry unseasoned breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs, beaten to blend
Sage and Pine Nut Yogurt Sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray foil with nonstick spray. Brush cut side of squash halves with 2 tablespoons oil. Place 2 sage leaves on cut side of each half. Place garlic clove in each cavity. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Turn squash, cut side down, on prepared sheet. Roast until tender and brown in spots, about 1 hour. Cool on sheet.
  • Discard sage leaves; reserve garlic. Spoon enough roasted squash into large measuring cup to measure 4 cups packed (reserve any remaining squash for another use); add garlic. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Scrape shallot mixture into processor; add 4 cups squash with garlic, breadcrumbs, cumin, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Blend until just smooth, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl. Transfer squash mixture to large bowl; mix in eggs.
  • Add enough oil to heavy large skillet to coat bottom generously; heat over mediumhigh heat. Working in batches of 7 or 8 and adding more oil as needed, drop 1 heaping tablespoonful batter for each latke into skillet. Dip back of fork into oil in skillet and flatten batter to 21/2-inch rounds. Fry latkes until brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer latkes to rimmed baking sheets. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm uncovered in 350°F oven 15 minutes.
  • Serve latkes with yogurt sauce.

Tips:

  • For the best latkes, use fresh butternut squash. This will give them a sweeter, more flavorful taste.
  • Be sure to squeeze out as much water as possible from the grated butternut squash before adding it to the batter. This will help the latkes to crisp up nicely.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the latkes. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Cook the latkes over medium heat. This will help them to cook through without burning.
  • Serve the latkes hot with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, applesauce, and smoked salmon.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash and sage latkes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and can be served with a variety of toppings. So next time you are looking for a new side dish to try, give these latkes a try. You won't be disappointed!
