Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 medium butternut squash (4 to 5 pounds total)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut off and discard the ends of each butternut squash. Peel the squash, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into 1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. With clean hands, toss all the ingredients together and spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, until the squash is tender and the glaze begins to caramelize. While roasting, turn the squash a few times with a spatula, to be sure it browns evenly. Taste for seasonings and serve hot.

GOULASH



Goulash image

There is no high drama about simmering a stew. However fine, stew is a homey, intimate exchange, a paean to the way living things improve when their boundaries relax, when they incorporate some of the character and flavor of others. Soulful, a word inextricably linked with a good sturdy stew, is the payoff to the cook who plans a little and has the patience to abide.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 medium onions, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 pound beef stewing meat, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes

2 cups beef broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste

Cover and cook until the beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir in the lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Serve over wide egg noodles.

Pork & squash goulash cobbler image

Combine pork with squash and mushrooms in this hearty low-calorie meal for two. If you add the cabbage to serve, it counts as five of your 5-a-day

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Dinner

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tsp olive oil
250g lean pork fillet, trimmed of any visible fat and cut into chunks
3 celery sticks, chopped (160g)
160g butternut squash, peeled and cut into cubes
1 green pepper, deseeded and diced
100g button mushrooms, stalks pulled out, and large ones halved
½ tsp caraway seeds, plus a pinch for sprinkling
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp vegetable bouillon powder
2 tbsp tomato purée
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
160g cooked cabbage, to serve
100g spelt wholemeal flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp olive oil
100g pot natural yogurt
drop of milk, to glaze (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in an ovenproof non-stick pan, then stir-fry the pork for 5-7 mins until it starts to brown. Tip in the celery, squash, pepper and mushrooms with their stalks, then cook for a few minutes more.
  • Stir in the caraway and paprika, then pour in 350ml boiling water, the bouillon, tomato purée and garlic. Cover the pan and simmer for 20 mins until the veg is tender, then remove the lid and simmer for another 5 mins to reduce a little.
  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. For the cobbler topping, put the flour in a bowl and stir in the baking powder. Combine the oil and yogurt, then stir that into the flour. Bring the mix together into a dough using a cutlery knife. Knead very lightly on a clean work surface, then form into a sausage shape about the width of a large cucumber. Slice evenly into six rounds and arrange on top of the goulash. Brush with a little milk to glaze, if you like, and scatter over a pinch of caraway seeds. Bake for 15-20 mins until golden and cooked - you can tell by lifting one to see if the mixture has set beneath. Serve with the cooked cabbage on the side, if you like.
