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.

Categories     side-dish

Time 38m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large butternut squash, about 1 1/2 pounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, minced
Salt and pepper
1 bay leaf
Pinch ground nutmeg
6 fresh sage leaves, cut in thin strips
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
Chopped chestnuts, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise to remove the seeds and strings. Peel the skin using a paring knife and cut the squash into small cubes.
  • Place the olive oil and shallots in a deep skillet over medium heat. When the shallots begin to color, add the squash and season with salt and pepper. Saute a few minutes to lightly caramelize the surface of the cubes. Add the bay leaf, nutmeg, sage, and chicken broth. Cover the pan and cook until the squash is tender but still holding its shape, about 8 minutes.
  • Puree the sauce with a standard or immersion blender and serve with potato gnocchi. Top with grated cheese and chopped chestnuts before serving. If desired, fry some sage and shallots in olive oil to garnish.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH LATKES (H. G.)



Butternut Squash Latkes (H. G.) image

From hungry-girl.com... optional toppings include fat-free sour cream and chopped scallions, unsweetened applesauce and cinnamon. I used two medium-sized squashes, and that gave me about six cups of shreds, so I doubled the recipe and got 28 latkes. They didn't stick together very well, though, so I'd suggest adding a bit more egg substitute.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 12 latkes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups butternut squash, shredded (a cheese grater works well)
1/2 cup onion, shredded
1/4 cup egg substitute
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
olive oil nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Place a large baking sheet in the oven, and preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Place shredded squash and onion on a layer of paper towels. Cover with another layer of paper towels, and press down firmly to remove all excess moisture. Repeat until squash and onion shreds are as dry as possible.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine squash, onion, egg substitute, flour, and salt. Mix well.
  • Using oven mitts or kitchen towels, carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Cover sheet evenly with a 3-second spray of olive oil spray.
  • Spoon squash mixture onto the sheet in 12 evenly spaced mounds. Using the back of a spoon, flatten and spread each mound into a circle about 3 inches wide.
  • Carefully (remember, it's hot!) return pan to the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
  • Using oven mitts or kitchen towels, carefully remove sheet. Coat the top of the latkes with another 3-second spray of olive oil spray. Gently flip with a spatula.
  • Return to the oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes, until both sides of latkes are crispy. Serve with sour cream topped with scallions and/or applesauce topped with cinnamon!

BAKED BUTTERNUT SQUASH, RAISIN AND PINE NUT LASAGNA



Baked Butternut Squash, Raisin and Pine Nut Lasagna image

This was one of my favorite Weight Watchers recipes and a nice variation on the standard red sauce lasagna. It is creamy and a bit sweet from the squash and raisins and oh so satifying. As presented here, it is a bit higher in points than the original (7 versus 6 points) but I think is a more appealing, creamier dish. Whether you are doing WW or not, you'll enjoy this one. I've also added 1/2 cup of part-skim ricotta (4 points total) to the middle layer at times with good success.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups fat-free evaporated milk
2 -3 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon table salt (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon white pepper (to taste)
10 ounces dry lasagna noodles, cooked al dente (about 12 noodles)
16 ounces cooked winter squash, mashed
1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
3/4 cup golden seedless raisins
2 tablespoons pine nuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Prepare lasagna noodles as directed on the package.
  • To prepare the squash, peel and remove seeds, trimming into 1 or 2 inch cubes. Place in a pot of boiling water and cook until just tender. Remove water and mash by hand. (You can also do this in the microwave if you have one.)
  • Place flour in a small saucepan over low to medium heat and very gradually whisk in milk and garlic. Warm milk slurry, stirring constantly, until sauce simmers and is thickened, about 3 minutes. (It will continue to thicken in the baking so don't worry if it seems a bit thin at this stage.) Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.?.
  • Spread 1/3 cup of cheese sauce over bottom of a 9 X 13-inch glass or metal pan and cover with 3 lasagna noodles; top with 1/3 of squash and 1/2 cup of cheese sauce. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of raisins. Cover with 3 more lasagna noodles and spread with 1/3 of remaining squash and 2/3 cup of cheese sauce; sprinkle with 1/4 cup of raisins. Cover with 3 more lasagna noodles and top with remaining squash and raisins; cover with last 3 lasagna noodles, pressing sheets firmly down. Top with remaining cheese sauce; sprinkle with pine nuts and remaining mozzarella cheese.
  • Cover lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until lasagna bubbles around edges and is browned on top, about 15-20 additional minutes.
  • Slice into 8 pieces and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm, heavy, and has a deep orange color.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the squash and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Don't overcook the squash: Butternut squash should be cooked until it is tender, but not mushy. Overcooked squash will make the latkes too soft.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help the latkes to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Serve the latkes hot: Butternut squash latkes are best served hot, right out of the skillet. They can be topped with yogurt sauce, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash latkes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With their sweet and savory flavor, these latkes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy butternut squash, give these latkes a try!
