Melted Golden Squash
Recipe Brought to you by FoodFit
This recipe serves: 6
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour 10 minutes
1-2 hard-skinned squash (acorn, banana, or butternut), about 3 pounds
3 tablespoon olive oil, or unsalted butter
1 finely chopped onion (about 1 1/4 cups)
salt and pepper (freshly ground) to taste
3 tablespoons finely minced citron
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
chopped fresh mint, flat-leaf parsley or rosemary, optional
Preheat the oven to 375 F. [censored] the squash with the tip of a knife and
place in a pan in the oven. Bake until tender when pierced, about 50 to 60
minutes, depending on size. Remove from the oven and, when cool enough to
handle, cut in half. Scoop out the seeds and fibers and discard. Scoop out
the flesh and pass it through a food mill placed over a bowl, or mash it
with a potato masher. Warm the olive oil or butter in a saute pan over low
heat. Add the onion and saute until very soft and sweet, about 15 minutes.
Add the squash, season with salt and pepper, and add the citron or lemon
zest and cinnamon. Cook over very low heat, stirring often, until dry,
about 10 minutes. Transfer to a warmed serving dish and sprinkle with
mint, parsley, or rosemary, if you like.
