Categories     Vegetarian/Side Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

Extra virgin olive oil (I used our Greek Early Harvest olive oil)
1 sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 medium yellow squash
1 red bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Pitted marinated olives, sliced (optional)
Handful chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1 tsp za'atar, more for later
3/4 tsp to 1 tsp Aleppo pepper (start with less if you're not sure)
3/4 tsp ground cumin

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add sweet onions and cook for about 4 minutes until translucent (you can raise heat to medium-hot and toss onions regularly.)
  • Add garlic, yellow squash, and red bell peppers. Drizzle a little more extra virgin olive oil.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and spice mixture. Toss with a wooden spoon to make sure vegetables are well coated with the spices. Cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally, until squash and peppers are nice and tender (I like my squash to have some carmalized parts, so it helps to raise the heat for a little while.)
  • Transfer to a serving platter. Add another drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a generous pinch of za'atar. If you like, add a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese, pitted olives, and a handful of chopped fresh herbs like parsley. Enjoy!

Squash With Mushrooms image

Diana Kennedy, the British-born expert on the regional cuisines of Mexico, gave The Times this recipe, which combines squash with mushrooms and a poblano chile (feel free to substitute a sweet green one), then coats it with cheese and sour cream for a tortilla filling that makes for a fine centerpiece to a vegetarian feast.

Provided by Joan Nathan

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium zucchini, about 1 pound
3 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped white onion
1 poblano chili, or 1/2 green bell pepper, charred, peeled, cleaned and cut into narrow strips
Sea salt to taste
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, rinsed and shaken dry
1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
4 ounces queso fresco or domestic muenster cheese, cut into thin slices
1/2 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
6 corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Rinse, trim and cut the zucchini into 1/4-inch cubes.
  • In a small saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the onion and chili or pepper strips with a sprinkle of salt, and cook, uncovered, without browning, for 1 minute.
  • Add the squash cubes, cover the pan and cook over medium heat, shaking the pan from time to time to prevent sticking. Cook for 10 minutes or until the squash is tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, toss the mushrooms in the remaining oil, sprinkle with salt and stir-fry for 5 minutes, or until the juice that exudes becomes almost gelatinous.
  • Remove the cooked mushrooms from the heat and add to the squash mixture.
  • Sprinkle the top of the vegetables with the cilantro; then, dot with the cheese and creme fraiche or sour cream. Cover the pan, and cook over a gentle heat for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

ROASTED ACORN SQUASH WITH MUSHROOMS, PEPPERS AND GOAT CHEESE



Roasted Acorn Squash with Mushrooms, Peppers and Goat Cheese image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 acorn squash
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups cabbage (core removed before slicing)
1 cup 1/4-inch-sliced sweet onion
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced in 1/4-inch julienne
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced in 1/4-inch julienne
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups cremini mushrooms, cleaned and quartered
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces crumbled goat cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • For the acorn squash: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Trim the tops and bottoms off the squash. Cut in half horizontally so the cut-ends will keep the pieces flat. Clean the inside of the squash. Separate the seeds from the membranes and rinse well. Dry the seeds with a paper towel and set aside.
  • Place the squash cut-side up on a baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Place the seeds on a separate baking sheet or foil. Roast the squash 30 minutes. Roast the seeds at the same time, checking and moving them around after 10 minutes and again after 20 minutes. Depending on the size of the seeds, they may be done after 20 minutes, or up to 30 minutes. Sprinkle the seeds with the remaining salt, and set aside with the squash.
  • For the filling: Set a large saute pan over high heat and add the butter. When melted, add the cabbage, onions, peppers, sprinkle with salt and pepper and gently toss to combine. Allow the cabbage to wilt down, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and toss to combine. Saute 2 to 4 minutes longer, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • For assembling: Preheat the broiler to low. Fill the roasted acorn squash halves with the filling. Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the top, then top with the roasted squash seeds. Broil just until the cheese is warm. Garnish with a small amount of Italian parsley, if using, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and flavorful ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your salad will be. Look for mushrooms that are firm and have a deep, earthy color. Choose squash that is heavy for its size and has a deep, orange color. And select bell peppers that are brightly colored and have a firm texture.
  • Slice your vegetables thinly. This will help them to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the dressing.
  • Roast your vegetables until they are slightly caramelized. This will bring out their natural sweetness and add a delicious depth of flavor to the salad.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Toss the salad just before serving. This will help to prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

This mushroom, squash, and bell pepper salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
