Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup kamut berries
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head cauliflower, trimmed and broken into small florets, about 1 1/2 pounds florets
1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch cubes, about 1 1/2 pounds
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
2 small red onions, julienned
4 shallots, sliced
1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
3/4 teaspoon Madras curry powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
Juice of one lemon
1/2 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place kamut berries in a small sieve and rinse under cold running water. Transfer kamut berries to a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover by 2 inches; generously salt water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer until tender, adding more water as necessary, about 2 hours. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, place cauliflower and squash on two separate rimmed baking sheets; drizzle each with 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to oven and roast until golden and slightly crisp, about 15 minutes for cauliflower and 30 minutes for squash.
  • Heat remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onions and shallots; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, but not browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and add mustard seeds, curry powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper; continue cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sherry vinegar, stirring from bottom of pan to deglaze, and cook 2 minutes more.
  • Remove from heat and add to bowl with kamut berries along with the lemon juice; stir to combine. Add cauliflower and squash; toss to combine. Just before serving, add parsley leaves and almonds; gently toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper; serve warm or at room temperature.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH PILAF

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings, about 3/4 cup each

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, halved and seeded
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large red onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup instant or parboiled brown rice
1 3/4 cups water or 1 14-ounce can vegetable broth
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup chopped fennel fronds (see Ingredient Note)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch of cinnamon
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Grated butternut squash adds color and nutrients to this brown rice pilaf. Greeks like to use winter squash, especially pumpkin, to make savory and sweet pies, fritters and croquettes, casseroles and myriad other dishes with fall's telltale vegetables, but these dishes are virtually unknown outside the country. It's traditionally made with pumpkin, but since most pumpkins in the U.S. are grown for carving jack-o'-lanterns (and not for cooking), we've modified the recipe to work with readily available butternut squash. The original dish calls for Greek pilaf rice, a short-grained, polished rice that is hard to find outside the country, so we've substituted instant brown rice.
  • Grate the squash through the large holes of a box grater.
  • Heat oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and lightly colored, 10 to 12 minutes. Combine 2 tablespoons water and tomato paste in a small bowl and stir it into the pan. Add rice and stir to coat. Add the squash, in batches if necessary, and stir until it has reduced in volume enough so that you can cover the pan.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high, pour in 1 3/4 cups water (or broth) and wine, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, covered, stirring once or twice, until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid and the squash is tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Add fennel fronds, oregano, salt, cinnamon and pepper; gently stir to combine. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
