A ginormous butternut squash has been residing on my countertop for about a month.
Time to use it. So, with thoughts of Cousin Evelyn and the delicious dish she used to bring on Thanksgiving, I knew just what to do. Thing is, Ev carefully wedged and arranged her ingredients with perfection. Not in the mood. Shaving seemed to fill the bill. Extra chunks were tossed into soup that's currently simmering on the range. Here ya go:
Toss shaved squash, apple slices, cinnamon to taste, maple syrup and a hit of PAM or such. Pile into sprayed baking dish; it will shrink way down. Drizzle on more syrup and dot with butter. Bake in preheated 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes; this gives it color. Stir and cover lightly with foil. Lower oven temp to 350 and cook for about 20 more minutes or till tender. Stir before serving.
Buon Appetito!
To Note After The Fact:
The dried cranberries just purchased from Trader Joe's would have gone exceptionally well in this dish.
Next time.
