ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH, SAUTEED APPLES AND TOASTED WALNUT CREPES WITH CINNAMON GELATO



Roasted Butternut Squash, Sauteed Apples and Toasted Walnut Crepes with Cinnamon Gelato image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     dessert

Time 2h55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 1/2 cups medium-diced butternut squash
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
2 to 3 tablespoons butter
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and medium diced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup bourbon
1/2 cup apple cider
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
Basic Crepes, recipe follows
Cinnamon Gelato, recipe follows
Powdered sugar, for dusting
1 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch kosher salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup club soda
3 tablespoons melted butter, plus 3 tablespoons for cooking the crepes
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cinnamon sticks
6 egg yolks

Steps:

  • For the filling: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the butternut squash with some olive oil and salt. Place onto a baking sheet and into the oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Put a saute pan over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the apples and salt to taste, and saute until softened. Hit it with the brown sugar and toss until melted. Hit it with the bourbon off the flame, and then carefully tip the pan to the flame to flambe and let the alcohol burn off. Add the apple cider and bring back to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until glazy and delicious, about 10 minutes. Toss in the roasted butternut squash and half of the chopped walnuts.
  • To assemble: Add about 1/4 cup of the filling into the bottom third of a crepe. Roll the crepe and place seam-side down on a plate. Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients.
  • To serve: Arrange 1 crepe roll on each serving plate and spoon more butternut squash and apple filling over the top. Garnish with toasted walnuts and serve with Cinnamon Gelato. Dust with powdered sugar.
  • For the batter: In a mixing bowl, add the flour and salt and make a well in the center. Add the eggs, milk and club soda into the center of the well and whisk together until just combined. The mixture should be like VERY loose pancake batter. If the mixture is a little thick, whisk in a little more milk. Let the batter sit for at least 30 minutes before using. The crepe batter can be made up to 2 days in advance, covered and refrigerated.
  • For the crepes: Melt about 1/2 teaspoon of the butter in a small nonstick saute pan. The butter should coat the bottom of the pan; if there is a lot of excess, wipe it out with a paper towel. Keep the paper towel handy in case you need it again (you will).
  • Put the pan over medium heat. Fill a 2-ounce ladle almost to the top with batter and pour it into the preheated pan, tipping and rolling the pan as you ladle the batter to evenly cover the bottom. This will take a little practice; even when you are an experienced crepe maker, the first couple always get wasted. Accept it and move on.
  • When the edges of the crepe begin to pull away from the edges of the pan and the bottom begins to brown a little, flip the crepe over and cook it for about 1 minute on the other side. Remove the crepe from the pan to a plate and let cool. Stack the crepes as they are cooked between parchment paper squares.
  • Repeat this process until all the batter is used, wiping the pan with your paper towel or melting a little more butter to the pan as needed.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, 1/4 cup of the sugar, the vanilla extract, salt and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil, turn off the heat and let sit.
  • In a small bowl, combine the egg yolks and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat to a homogeneous consistency.
  • Bring the heavy cream-cinnamon mixture back to a boil and turn the heat off. Whisk a third of the heavy cream mixture into the egg-sugar mixture, and then immediately whisk the egg mixture back into the remaining heavy cream mixture. Bring the mixture back up over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Strain the mixture and chill over an ice water bath.
  • Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream/gelato machine according to the manufacturer's directions.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND APPLE PUREE



Butternut Squash and Apple Puree image

This butternut squash and apple puree side dish pairs well with our Bay-Leaf-Crusted Pork Roast.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Seasonal Recipes     Fall Recipes     Butternut Squash Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 large butternut squash (about 2 1/2 pounds), peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
4 Gala or other sweet apples (about two pounds total), peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch cubes

Steps:

  • In a large skillet with a lid, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium; add onion, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add squash, apples, and 1 cup water. Cover, and simmer until squash is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes. (If skillet becomes dry, add a little water; if liquid has not evaporated by the time squash is cooked, drain.)
  • Transfer squash mixture to a food processor. Add remaining butter; process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper; serve. (If serving later, gently reheat in a medium saucepan over low.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm to the touch, with a deep orange color and no blemishes.
  • Peel and cube the squash before cooking. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when sautéing the squash. This will prevent it from cooking evenly and becoming mushy.
  • Season the squash with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or paprika, to taste.
  • Add the apples and pecans towards the end of the cooking time. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked and mushy.
  • Serve the squash immediately, while it is still warm. It can be served as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

Sautéed butternut squash with shaved apple and pecans is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables, and it is also a good source of fiber and vitamins.
