Steps:
- Using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a chef's knife on a cutting board, mash together garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt to form a paste.
- In a medium bowl, stir together garlic paste, mustard, and balsamic and red-wine vinegars. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the right squash: For this recipe, butternut squash or acorn squash work well. Look for squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a smooth, unblemished skin.
- Roast the squash properly: To get evenly roasted squash, cut it into uniform pieces and toss them with olive oil and salt. Roast the squash at a high temperature (425°F) for about 20 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly caramelized.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: The balsamic vinegar is what really makes this dish special. Look for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years. This will give it a rich, complex flavor.
- Add some herbs and spices: To add even more flavor to the roasted squash, try adding some herbs and spices. Some good options include rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Serve the roasted squash warm or cold: This dish can be served warm or cold, making it a great option for a variety of occasions. If you are serving it warm, you can drizzle it with a little extra balsamic vinegar and sprinkle it with some chopped fresh herbs.
Conclusion:
Roasted squash with balsamic vinegar is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for fall. The sweet and savory flavors of the roasted squash pair perfectly with the tangy balsamic vinegar.
