BUTTERNUT SQUASH PANZANELLA SALAD



Butternut Squash Panzanella Salad image

This colorful salad is easy to make-and it's even easier if you use precut chunks of butternut squash. You can use pecans in place of the almonds or watercress instead of the arugula or spinach. -Nancy Buchanan, Costa Mesa, California

3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 batch Italian Cornbread, recipe follows
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
8 ounces small mozzarella balls
8 fresh basil leaves, cut into chiffonade
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons diced sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons shortening

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Roast the vegetables until tender and brown around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes for the onion pan and 40 to 45 minutes for the carrot pan. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Meanwhile, cut the Italian Cornbread into 1-inch cubes, arrange on a baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Bake to slightly crisp the bread without toasting it, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • In a small jar, shake together 1/4 cup olive oil, the vinegar and some salt and pepper.
  • Put the cooled cornbread and vegetables in a large bowl. Pour over the dressing, tossing gently to combine. Add the mozzarella balls and some salt and pepper and mix. Add the basil and toss again. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours before serving. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper and serve.

  • Measure the buttermilk and milk into a measuring cup and add the egg. Stir together with a fork. Add the baking soda and stir. Add the Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes and oregano and mix together. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until combined.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/4 cup shortening in the microwave. Slowly add the melted shortening to the batter, stirring until just combined.
  • In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons shortening over medium heat. Pour the batter into the hot skillet (the batter should sizzle) and spread to even out the surface. Cook on the stove top for 1 minute, then transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. The edges should be crispy!

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Chicken and panzanella:
1 (3½-4-lb.) whole chicken
2¾ tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
2 small acorn squash (about 3 lb. total)
2 Tbsp. finely chopped sage
1 Tbsp. finely chopped rosemary
6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted, plus 3 Tbsp. room temperature
¼ tsp. ground allspice
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
⅓ loaf good-quality sturdy white bread, torn into 1" pieces (about 2½ cups)
2 medium apples (such as Gala or Pink Lady; about 14 oz. total), cored, cut into 1" pieces
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
3 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. white miso
Gravy and assembly:
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature
¼ cup dry white wine
2 cups unsalted chicken broth
2 tsp. white miso
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Chicken and panzanella:
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels, season all over with 2 tsp. salt, and tie legs together with kitchen twine. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, halve squash and scoop out seeds. Run a vegetable peeler along ridges of squash halves to remove skin. Cut each half into ½"-thick wedges; arrange on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Combine sage, rosemary, and 6 Tbsp. melted butter in a large bowl; pour half of mixture over squash on baking sheet. Sprinkle squash with allspice, red pepper flakes, and ½ tsp. salt and season with black pepper; toss to coat.
  • Add bread, apples, oil, and ¼ tsp. salt to remaining herb butter in bowl; season with black pepper and toss to combine. Set aside.
  • Place onion and vinegar in a small bowl; season with salt and toss to coat. Let sit, tossing occasionally, until ready to serve.
  • Place a rack in middle and lower third of oven; preheat to 425°F. Mix miso and 3 Tbsp. room-temperature butter in a small bowl until smooth. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then rub or brush all over with miso butter. Place chicken in a large cast-iron skillet and roast on middle rack until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast registers 155°F, 50-60 minutes. (Temperature will climb to 165°F while chicken rests.) Let chicken rest in skillet at least 5 minutes, then transfer to a plate; reserve skillet.
  • Meanwhile, roast squash on lower rack until mostly tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and scatter reserved bread mixture over, spreading into as even a layer as you can manage. Return to oven and roast until bread is golden brown and crisp and apples are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, drain pickled onions, and toss to combine. Transfer to a serving dish.
  • Gravy and assembly:
  • Using your fingers, mash flour and butter in a small bowl to combine.
  • Set reserved skillet with chicken drippings over medium heat. You should have about ¼ cup, but a little over or under is all good. (If you have significantly more, drain off and set excess aside.) Add wine and cook, stirring often and scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, until bits are loosened and wine is reduced by about half (you should be able to smell the wine), about 2 minutes. Add butter mixture; cook, stirring often, until a smooth paste forms, about 2 minutes. Add broth and any reserved drippings and cook, stirring constantly, until combined and thickened, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in miso. Taste and season with salt and black pepper.
  • Serve chicken with gravy and squash panzanella alongside.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH BREAD SALAD



Roasted Butternut Squash Bread Salad image

This sheet-pan recipe is an easy way to get a hearty vegetarian meal on the table in under an hour. Inspired by panzanella, which traditionally provides new life for stale bread by tossing it with juicy tomatoes, this bread salad instead gets its moisture from an earthy tahini dressing. The creamy tahini is lightly sweetened with honey, which plays well with the buttery squash, while a flourish of fresh herbs adds a light, springy finish. This makes for a nice supper on its own, but it would also work well as a side to roasted chicken or fish.

Categories     salads and dressings, vegetables, main course, side dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2- to 1-inch wedges
4 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes (optional)
3 (1-inch thick) slices country bread or round peasant loaf, torn into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro, parsley or dill, or a combination of all three (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. In a large bowl, toss the squash with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season well with salt, black pepper and red-pepper flakes (if using) and toss again. Spread the squash in an even layer on the sheet pan and roast until it begins to brown in spots, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While the squash roasts, in the same bowl (no need to wipe it out), toss the bread with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. After the squash has roasted for 10 to 15 minutes, remove from the oven and turn the squash pieces over. Add the bread to the sheet pan. Roast 10 to 15 minutes more, turning the bread halfway through, until the croutons are golden and crisp and the squash is tender.
  • While the squash and croutons roast, whisk together the tahini, lime juice, honey and 2 tablespoons water. Season to taste with salt.
  • Arrange the squash and croutons on a platter or in a bowl and drizzle with the dressing. Scatter with the herbs, if using.
