ROASTED SQUASH WITH COCONUT, CHILE AND GARLIC



Roasted Squash With Coconut, Chile and Garlic image

Mix dry coconut, dry chile and garlic together, and you can easily brighten a batch of roasted winter squash. But this South Indian home-cooking technique is versatile and works with many kinds of vegetables too. Cut a head of cauliflower into florets, and roast that instead. Or shave brussels sprouts or red cabbage very thinly, and cook it in a skillet, adding the coconut-chile-garlic mixture when the vegetable is cooked. In the spring, try it with fresh peas or fava beans. In the summer, try corn kernels. The variations are endless.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings as a side

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 to 2 pounds mixed winter squash (such as delicata, acorn and butternut)
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
2 to 3 dried chiles de árbol
1/3 cup unsweetened dried, shredded coconut
1 small garlic clove, peeled
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon black mustard seeds (optional)
1 sprig fresh curry leaves (optional)
Half a lemon

Steps:

  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, and heat the oven to 400. Wash, slice and seed the squash, cutting it into approximately 1/2-inch-thick rings and wedges. Arrange on a sheet pan, drizzle with oil and season with salt. Roast for 30 to 45 minutes, turning the pieces about halfway through, until the squash is tender and slightly browned in places.
  • In the meantime, put the chiles in a bowl, and cover with very hot water so they soften for about 2 minutes, or longer. In a mortar and pestle or a small food processor, add the coconut and garlic. Grind until the garlic is completely broken down, then fish the chiles out of the water, and add them. Grind, until the chiles are in small but still-visible red pieces.
  • In a sauté pan, heat coconut oil over medium heat. When it is hot, add mustard seeds and curry leaves, if using. When seeds start to pop, add coconut-chile-garlic mixture, and stir well. Cook for about 1 minute, or less if the paste is very dry and starts to brown quickly, then remove from heat. Toss the warm roasted squash into the coconut mixture, along with a generous squeeze of lemon. Taste a piece for salt and lemon, adjust as needed and serve.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (1 1/2 - to 1 3/4-lb) acorn squash
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or to taste
1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh hot red chile, including seeds
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 450F. Halve squash lengthwise, then cut off and discard stem ends. Scoop out seeds and cut squash lengthwise into 3/4-inch-wide wedges. Toss squash with black pepper, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons oil in a bowl, then arrange, cut sides down, in 2 large shallow baking pans. Roast squash, switching position of pans halfway through roasting, until squash is tender and undersides of wedges are golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes.
  • While squash roasts, mince garlic and mash to a paste with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Transfer paste to a small bowl and whisk in lime juice, chile (to taste), cilantro, and remaining 1/4 cup oil until combined. Transfer squash, browned sides up, to a platter and drizzle with vinaigrette.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Butternut and kabocha squash are great choices for roasting, as they have a sweet, nutty flavor and a firm texture that holds up well to roasting.
  • Cut the squash into even-sized pieces: This will help them roast evenly.
  • Toss the squash with oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them brown and caramelize in the oven.
  • Roast the squash at a high temperature: This will help them roast quickly and evenly.
  • Flip the squash halfway through roasting: This will help them roast evenly on all sides.
  • Add the coconut milk, chili, and garlic in the last few minutes of roasting: This will help them infuse the squash with flavor without overpowering it.
  • Serve the squash immediately: It is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

This roasted squash with coconut, chile, and garlic is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The squash is roasted until tender and caramelized, and the coconut milk, chili, and garlic add a unique and flavorful twist. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
