    I like mashed butternut squash with only salt and pepper. Or use it to stuff raviolis. You can buy
    pre-cut eggroll wrappers if you don't feel like rolling out your own dough. Dab a bit of filling in
    the middle, fold over, and crimp. Great served with a mild curry cream sauce.

  3. I once had a Butternut Bisque at a restaurant. It was rich and creamy, topped off with a little
    drizzle of hazlenut oil.

    I don't have a recipe, but it was so good, someone is bound to?

    mmmm stuffing for raviolis sounds good 🙂

    thanks!

    I was thinking about making a soup with it too, just what spices to add?

    Butternut Bisque

    6 cups water 6 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed (about 2 1/2 lbs) 3 cups potatoes, diced
    (Yukon Gold if available) 1 large onion, chopped 8 cloves garlic, minced 14oz can Mexican style
    stewed tomatoes (diced tomatoes mixed with a bit of cumin and oregano)
    1/4 cup nutritional yeast 1 tsp dried thyme
    2/4 tsp ground sage
    3/8 tsp white pepper generous sprinkling of fresh ground nutmeg
    4/3 cup mellow white miso
    5/4 cup dry sherry 1 tbsp tamari

    Place water, squash, potatoes, onion and garlic in a 6 quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce
    heat to medium and cook 30 to 45 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Remove 3 cups of the
    veggies to the bowl of a food processor and add the stewed tomatoes and nutritional yeast.
    Process the mixture to a thick puree. Return the puree to the soup and add the thyme, sage,
    pepper and nutmeg.

    In a separate bowl, blend the miso with the sherry and add to the bisque with the tamari. Reduce
    heat and simmer 5 minutes or just until the bisque begins to bubble. Do not boil. Serve with a
    crusty sourdough bread.

    Here's a recipe you may want to use as a guide:

    Butternut Squash and Ginger Soup

    1 medium onion, peeled and chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 tbsp vegetable oil
    7006 / 1 1/2 lbs butternut squash, peeled and chopped 2 tsp freshly grated ginger root juice a pinch
    of freshly grated nutmeg salt and pepper to taste 1 1/2 pints light vegetable stock

    Sauté the onion and garlic in the oil for about 5 minutes, covered, without browning. Add the
    butternut squash, ginger juice, nutmeg and a little seasoning. Cover and continue to cook for a
    further 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.

    Add the stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes or until the squash is tender. Puree the
    soup in a blender or food processor. Reheat to serve. Garnish with chopped chives, freshly grated
    nutmeg or a swirl of soy cream if so inclined.

    I think you should call yourself "MrReceipe" rather than "MrFalafel"!

    I'll have to make it tomorrow 😄
