When my husband cooks he gets creative, and never tells me what he's making. It's always a surprise. :) Last night he grilled these squashes, filled with an array of garden goodness. When I asked him what he did (since I was going to report it here today!) he said he sauteed onion, garlic, shitake mushrooms till tender. Then added fresh tomatoes and spinach till the spinach cooked down, just a few minutes. I did see him splash a bit of wine into the pan. Then he spread the sauteed veggies into the halved and hollowed out delicata squashes, sprinkling on Vermont cheddar and fresh dill. Or I think thyme would also taste good. He said he was going for a spinach pie kind of flavor. Then he wrapped them in foil, putting two halves together, and grilled them about 30-40 minutes and I can tell you they were yummy!
yummy! i just happen to have all these ingredients on hand, i may need to try this. thanks heather!
ReplyDeletethis looks like such a great recipe! we've got two delicata on our counter. maybe more.
ReplyDeleteanother way to enjoy sweet and tender delicate is to cut them in half, scoop out the seeds and bake them scooped side down in the oven at 400 F for 10-15 minutes. Remove them, add your sauteed veggies and greens (in soy sauce) and then pop them back in the oven for another ~10 minutes. Sweet and savory bliss!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! I've made something similar with zucchini or summer squash that grew to enormous proportions, but would never have thought of giving it a try with winter squash. What a great idea!
