Steps:
- Melt the butter and oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sage and fry until crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove the sage to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the squash to the skillet along with the nutmeg and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Saute the squash, stirring occasionally, until browned and almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.

SAUTEED BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH GARLIC, GINGER & SPICES
It has only been a few years that I would even touch squash. I knew it was good for you so I set about looking for a recipe that I could make that included squash and one that I would love. Well, I found this in Fine Cooking and it was a huge hit at Christmas about 5 years ago and now it is always on our Christmas table along...

Steps:
- 1. Melt 3 tbsps of the butter in a large 10 inch straight side saute pan over med-high heat.Add the butternut squash and a large pinch of salt. Cook stirring occasionally at first and the more frequently as squash browns until it is tender and lightly browned about 15 mins. Push the squash to one side of pan and add the remaining tbsp of butter to the clear space. When the butter melts add the ginger, garlic and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook the aromatics in the melted butter stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan until they are softened, 1 - 2 mins. Stir the cumin, coriander, cinnamon and cayenne into the ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir the flavorings into the squash, adjust the salt to taste, garnish with cilantro if using and serve.I happen to love cilantro so I always add lots!
- 2. I absolutely LOVE this dish. It looks complicated and I thought so first too when I made it , now I make it from memory and it is so delicious. I could eat it all myself!! One tip is to have everything ready before you start. I remember searching through my pantry the first time I made it looking for my spices and getting very frustrated!! My husband still says he doesn't like it but I see him eating it every time.!!Easily doubled or tripled...I do!!!
BUTTERNUT SQUASH SAUTEED
I have avoided Butternut Squash for years because I didn't know what to do with it. A friend showed me how to peel it with a potato peeler and believe me, that is much easier than doing it with a knife! This recipe is actually from my friend who is a wonderful cook and makes up his own recipes. He doesn't even write them down so...

Steps:
- 1. Peel butternut squash (I use a potato peeler). Scrape out seeds. Use a sharp knife and dice desired amount into small bite size pieces.
- 2. Add butter/margarine to frying pan and melt over med high heat.
- 3. Add diced onions, and other ingredients.
- 4. Cover pan and cook on medium until butternut is tender.
- 5. Serve with your meal or over rice.
Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a smooth, unblemished skin.
- Peel the squash carefully: Butternut squash has a tough skin, so it's important to peel it carefully. Use a sharp knife to score the squash lengthwise, then use your hands to peel it away from the flesh.
- Cut the squash into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about 1-inch thick.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will help the squash cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the squash will steam instead of sautéing.
- Cook the squash over medium-high heat: This will help it caramelize and develop a nice golden-brown color.
- Stir the squash frequently: This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the skillet.
- Season the squash to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options. You can also add other spices, such as cumin or chili powder, to taste.
- Serve the squash immediately: Butternut squash is best served hot, right out of the skillet.
Conclusion:
Butternut squash is a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Sautéed butternut squash is a simple but flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's also a great way to use up leftover squash. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and healthy side dish that the whole family will enjoy.
