Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Time 38m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large butternut squash, about 1 1/2 pounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, minced
Salt and pepper
1 bay leaf
Pinch ground nutmeg
6 fresh sage leaves, cut in thin strips
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
Chopped chestnuts, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise to remove the seeds and strings. Peel the skin using a paring knife and cut the squash into small cubes.
  • Place the olive oil and shallots in a deep skillet over medium heat. When the shallots begin to color, add the squash and season with salt and pepper. Saute a few minutes to lightly caramelize the surface of the cubes. Add the bay leaf, nutmeg, sage, and chicken broth. Cover the pan and cook until the squash is tender but still holding its shape, about 8 minutes.
  • Puree the sauce with a standard or immersion blender and serve with potato gnocchi. Top with grated cheese and chopped chestnuts before serving. If desired, fry some sage and shallots in olive oil to garnish.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SAGE LATKES



Butternut Squash and Sage Latkes image

Winter squash and sage is one of my favorite flavor combinations. Make sure to squeeze as much juice out of the onion as you can before you add it to the other ingredients.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield About 25 latkes, serving 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 medium onion, grated
6 cups grated butternut squash (1 3-pound squash)
1/4 cup chopped or slivered fresh sage (more to taste)
1 teaspoon baking powder
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons oat bran
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
About 1/4 cup canola, grape seed or rice bran oil

Steps:

  • Place the grated onion in a strainer set over a bowl while you prepare the other ingredients. Then wrap in a dishtowel and squeeze out excess water, or just take up by the handful to squeeze out excess water. Place in a large bowl and add the squash, sage, baking powder, salt and pepper, oat bran, and flour. Taste and adjust salt. Add the eggs and stir together.
  • Begin heating a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Heat the oven to 300 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Place a rack over another sheet pan. Take a 1/4 cup measuring cup and fill with 3 tablespoons of the mixture. Reverse onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining latke mix. You should have enough to make about 30 latkes.
  • Add the oil to the pan and when it is hot (hold your hand a few inches above - you should feel the heat), use a spatula to transfer a ball of latke mixture to the pan. Press down with the spatula to flatten. Repeat with more mounds. In my 10-inch pan I can cook 3 or 4 at a time without crowding; my 12-inch pan will accommodate 4 or 5. Cook on one side until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide the spatula underneath and flip the latkes over. Cook on the other side until golden brown, another 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the rack set over a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm.
  • Serve hot topped with low-fat sour cream, Greek style yogurt or crème fraîche.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND PURPLE POTATO LATKES



Butternut Squash and Purple Potato Latkes image

Purple potatoes add a bit of color and some extra nutrients but regular white potatoes work, too. Of course you can use white potatoes for these, but I loved the idea of the color combo when I created the recipe. The purple doesn't show up so much once you have browned the latkes but the anthocyanins in the potatoes are still there.

Time 15m

Yield About 20 to 24 latkes, serving 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 medium onion, grated
3 cups grated butternut squash (1 small squash)
3 cups grated purple potatoes
3 tablespoons chopped or slivered fresh sage (more to taste)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons oat bran
1/4 cup all-purpose flour or cornstarch
2 eggs, beaten
About 1/4 cup canola, grape seed or rice bran oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Place a rack over a sheet pan.
  • Place the grated onion in a strainer set over a bowl while you prepare the other ingredients. Then wrap in a dishtowel and squeeze out excess water, or just take up by the handful to squeeze out excess water. Place in a large bowl and add the squash, potatoes, sage, baking powder, salt and pepper, oat bran, and flour or cornstarch. Add the eggs and stir together.
  • Begin heating a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the oil and when it is hot, take up heaped tablespoons of the latke mixture, press the mixture against the spoon to extract liquid (or squeeze in your hands), and place in the pan. Press down with the back of the spatula to flatten. Repeat with more spoonfuls, being careful not to crowd the pan. In my 10-inch pan I can cook 4 at a time without crowding; my 12-inch pan will accommodate 5. Cook on one side until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Slide the spatula underneath and flip the latkes over. Cook on the other side until golden brown, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the rack set over a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. The mixture will continue to release liquid, which will accumulate in the bottom of the bowl. Stir from time to time, and remember to squeeze the heaped tablespoons of the mix before you add them to the pan.
  • Serve hot topped with low-fat sour cream, Greek style yogurt or crème fraiche.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH LATKES (H. G.)



Butternut Squash Latkes (H. G.) image

From hungry-girl.com... optional toppings include fat-free sour cream and chopped scallions, unsweetened applesauce and cinnamon. I used two medium-sized squashes, and that gave me about six cups of shreds, so I doubled the recipe and got 28 latkes. They didn't stick together very well, though, so I'd suggest adding a bit more egg substitute.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 12 latkes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups butternut squash, shredded (a cheese grater works well)
1/2 cup onion, shredded
1/4 cup egg substitute
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
olive oil nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Place a large baking sheet in the oven, and preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Place shredded squash and onion on a layer of paper towels. Cover with another layer of paper towels, and press down firmly to remove all excess moisture. Repeat until squash and onion shreds are as dry as possible.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine squash, onion, egg substitute, flour, and salt. Mix well.
  • Using oven mitts or kitchen towels, carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Cover sheet evenly with a 3-second spray of olive oil spray.
  • Spoon squash mixture onto the sheet in 12 evenly spaced mounds. Using the back of a spoon, flatten and spread each mound into a circle about 3 inches wide.
  • Carefully (remember, it's hot!) return pan to the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
  • Using oven mitts or kitchen towels, carefully remove sheet. Coat the top of the latkes with another 3-second spray of olive oil spray. Gently flip with a spatula.
  • Return to the oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes, until both sides of latkes are crispy. Serve with sour cream topped with scallions and/or applesauce topped with cinnamon!

Tips:

  • To save time, use a food processor to grate the butternut squash.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the butternut squash by hand using a box grater.
  • Be sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated butternut squash before adding it to the batter.
  • If the batter is too thick, add a little bit of water or milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Be careful not to overcook the latkes. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still tender on the inside.
  • Serve the latkes immediately with the yogurt sauce.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash latkes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for a fall or winter gathering. The yogurt sauce adds a creamy and tangy flavor to the latkes. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover butternut squash.
