Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons canola oil
8 sage leaves
3 cups cubed butternut squash (1/2-inch cubes; about 1 small squash)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced thin with a mandoline or knife
1/2 cup toasted pecans, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Melt the butter and oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sage and fry until crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove the sage to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the squash to the skillet along with the nutmeg and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Saute the squash, stirring occasionally, until browned and almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Lower the heat and continue to cook until the squash is soft and cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Remove to a serving dish, top with the shaved apple and sprinkle with the toasted pecans and sage leaves. Serve immediately.

It has only been a few years that I would even touch squash. I knew it was good for you so I set about looking for a recipe that I could make that included squash and one that I would love. Well, I found this in Fine Cooking and it was a huge hit at Christmas about 5 years ago and now it is always on our Christmas table along...

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 Tbsp unsalted butter
4 c 1/2 inch diced, peeled butternut squash (approx a 2 lb squash)
kosher salt
1 Tbsp finely grated fresh ginger
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground coriander
pinch ground cinnamon
2 tsp finely chopped cilantro (optonal)
pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Melt 3 tbsps of the butter in a large 10 inch straight side saute pan over med-high heat.Add the butternut squash and a large pinch of salt. Cook stirring occasionally at first and the more frequently as squash browns until it is tender and lightly browned about 15 mins. Push the squash to one side of pan and add the remaining tbsp of butter to the clear space. When the butter melts add the ginger, garlic and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook the aromatics in the melted butter stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan until they are softened, 1 - 2 mins. Stir the cumin, coriander, cinnamon and cayenne into the ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir the flavorings into the squash, adjust the salt to taste, garnish with cilantro if using and serve.I happen to love cilantro so I always add lots!
  • 2. I absolutely LOVE this dish. It looks complicated and I thought so first too when I made it , now I make it from memory and it is so delicious. I could eat it all myself!! One tip is to have everything ready before you start. I remember searching through my pantry the first time I made it looking for my spices and getting very frustrated!! My husband still says he doesn't like it but I see him eating it every time.!!Easily doubled or tripled...I do!!!

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SAUTEED



Butternut Squash Sauteed image

I have avoided Butternut Squash for years because I didn't know what to do with it. A friend showed me how to peel it with a potato peeler and believe me, that is much easier than doing it with a knife! This recipe is actually from my friend who is a wonderful cook and makes up his own recipes. He doesn't even write them down so...

1/2 peeled and diced butternut squash
1 onion, diced
dash rosemary (or to taste)
dash oregano (or to taste)
3 Tbsp butter or margarine (may substitute olive oil)
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Tips

  • Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash that has soft spots or blemishes.
  • Peel and cube the squash: Use a sharp knife to peel the squash, then cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Cut the squash into 1-inch cubes.
  • Season the squash: In a large bowl, toss the squash cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a pinch of sugar to help caramelize the squash.
  • Cook the squash: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the squash cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender and slightly browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Serve the squash: Sauteed butternut squash can be served as a side dish, main course, or salad ingredient. It can also be used in soups, stews, and casseroles.
