ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH PECAN GINGER GLAZE
This is a great holiday side dish. A real crowd pleaser. It's a way of providing that little bit of rich nut and sweet squash flavor that goes so well with a turkey, ham or whole roasted fish. The ginger offers a little "zing" that your menu just might be looking for without straying too far from that classic squash side dish we love on the Thanksgiving table. I made this last year instead of classic sweet potato with marshmallow and there was barely any leftover! Always a good sign....

BUTTERNUT SQUASH, PECANS AND CURRANTS
This recipe, from the restaurant Balaboosta in New York, came to The Times in 2010 as part of a roundup of restaurant Thanksgiving dinners, but it can be served any time, even as a weeknight main alongside a hearty salad or starch. The currants and candied pecans play off the butternut squash's sweetness, while a vinaigrette stops it all from being too cloying. It's a delightful vegetarian main for when you want the essence of the restaurant meal, without too much work.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut the squash in two at the base of the neck, discarding the hollow bulb end or reserving for another use. Peel the rest and slice into 1/2-inch disks.

Roast the squash, turning once halfway through, until tender and beginning to brown, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, combine garlic and one tablespoon of the remaining olive oil. Sauté until fragrant and tender, about one minute. Add pecans and sugar, and toss until the sugar has melted and the pecans are lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Whisk the vinegar into the remaining olive oil. Add the pecan mixture, currants and chili flakes. Mix well, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Arrange the squash on a warm platter and top with some or all of the dressing.

Yield Serves 8

Steps:
- Heat oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add squash; cover and cook until squash is just tender and beginning to color, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Add honey; toss until squash is glazed. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with smooth, unblemished skin.
- Roast the squash properly: Pierce the squash with a fork several times before roasting. This will help the steam to escape and prevent the squash from bursting.
- Make the glaze ahead of time: The pecan-ginger glaze can be made several days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to roast the squash.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as thyme and rosemary, will add a delicious flavor to the roasted squash.
- Serve immediately: Roasted butternut squash is best served immediately, while it is still warm and tender.
Conclusion:
Roasted butternut squash with pecan-ginger glaze is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. The squash is tender and flavorful, and the glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is perfect for a fall or winter meal, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
