BUTTERNUT SQUASH ORZO image

Yield 6 side dishes

Number Of Ingredients 7

.5 lb butternut squash, seeded and peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbs honey
2 Tbs balsamic vinegar
1 cup orzo
1 cup brown chicken stock

Steps:

  • Cut the squash into 3 or 4 evenly sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with the olive oil, and wrap in foil. Roast in the oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or until very soft. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes, then place the cooked squash in the bowl of a food processor. Add the honey, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper and pulse to form a relatively smooth puree. Set aside. Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 Tbs of salt. Set up an ice bath nearby. Cook the orzo and plunge it into the ice bath. Once cooked, drain it and lay it out on a baking sheet to dry. Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a 12 inch saute pan. Add the orzo and squash puree and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until the chicken stock is fully absorbed by the orzo. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe is too complicated. I'm not a very experienced cook and I had a hard time following it.

The butternut squash was too hard in this recipe. I had to cook it for an extra 15 minutes.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This was the perfect fall dish! The butternut squash was roasted to perfection and the orzo was cooked al dente.
