SWEET AND SOUR WINTER SQUASH



Sweet and Sour Winter Squash image

This dish is based on a Sicilian recipe that I learned from the food writer Clifford A. Wright. The sweet and sour flavors are typical of Sicilian cuisine, though I have changed the technique used in the authentic version, which entails sautéing the squash in a lot more oil.

Categories     easy, quick

Time 40m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 pounds winter squash, diced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 to 4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a baking dish large enough to accommodate the squash in an even layer, toss the squash with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and place in the oven. Roast 20 minutes, until not quite tender. Remove from the heat.
  • Dissolve the sugar in the vinegar in a small bowl. Heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet, and add the garlic and the squash. Cook, stirring gently, for a few minutes, until fragrant and the squash is tender but not too soft - about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the sugar and vinegar, and continue to cook, stirring gently, until the liquid is just about gone. Add the mint, cook for another minute, and remove from the heat. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.

KADDU (SWEET AND SOUR BUTTERNUT SQUASH)



Kaddu (Sweet and Sour Butternut Squash) image

This cozy vegetable main is an ode to earthy, maple-y fenugreek, a staple spice of Indian cooking that is a perfect match for the mild sweetness of butternut squash. Normally roasted, butternut squash is gently stewed here with ginger, onion, turmeric, tomatoes and brown sugar, bringing out a unique and addictive sweet-and-sour flavor. Kaddu is traditionally paired with puri, a type of fried bread, but roti, tortillas and even toast work well with this bright and hearty one-pot dish.

Categories     vegetables, main course, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon red chile powder, such as cayenne
1/4 teaspoon asafetida (optional)
1 medium butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
4 medium Roma tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime), plus more as needed
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (stems and leaves), for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large (12-inch) deep sauté pan over medium heat, warm the oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the fenugreek seeds and cook until they start to sputter, which should be within seconds. Reduce the heat to medium-low and swirl in the turmeric. Add the onion and sauté until it just starts to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ginger, chile powder and asafetida (if using), and cook for 1 minute. Add the butternut squash and salt, cover and cook until the squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, lime juice and brown sugar. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the tomatoes are soft but still retain their shape, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Taste and adjust the lime juice and salt according to taste. Garnish with the cilantro and serve warm.
