Categories     side-dish

Time 2h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 butternut squash (1 3/4 pounds), peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick half-moons
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage
3 tablespoons honey
Kosher salt
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 1/2 cups gruyere cheese, cut into small cubes
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • For the crust: Butter a 9-inch springform pan. Put the flour, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and process until thoroughly combined with no visible chunks of butter. Add the egg and pulse until the dough just starts to clump. Transfer the dough to the springform pan and press it evenly on the bottom and 1 inch up the sides. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • For the filling: Adjust an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Toss the butternut squash slices with the melted butter, sage, 1 tablespoon honey and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  • Sprinkle the Parmesan and breadcrumbs evenly on the bottom of the crust, then scatter over 1/2 cup of the gruyere cubes. Lay out a single layer of butternut squash slices, breaking off pieces of squash to fill any gaps. Scatter another 1/2 cup of gruyere over the squash. Top with the rest of the butternut squash slices and then the remaining 1/2 cup gruyere.
  • Put the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake, until the squash can be pierced easily with a knife, about 1 hour and 40 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes. (If the crust gets too dark, cover loosely with foil.)
  • Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, crushed red pepper and the remaining 2 tablespoons honey in a microwave-safe bowl large enough to contain it (the honey may boil over in the microwave). Microwave for 30 seconds to heat up the honey and infuse the chile flavor. Reserve.
  • Drizzle the tart all over with the chile-infused honey and serve immediately.

SPICY HONEY-GLAZED HAM

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 8-pound fully cooked bone-in half ham (shank or butt)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup honey
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup dijon mustard
1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons hot sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Bring the ham to room temperature 1 hour before baking.

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 350 degrees F. Trim off any skin from the ham, leaving a 1/4-inch layer of fat. Score the fat with a sharp knife in a 1-inch crosshatch pattern without cutting through to the meat. Place the ham flat-side down in a roasting pan and add the chicken broth to the pan. Cover with foil and bake 1 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the honey, brown sugar, mustards, vinegar, hot sauce, thyme and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Remove 3/4 cup of the glaze to a separate bowl and set aside for serving. Remove the ham from the oven, discard the foil and brush with about one-quarter of the remaining glaze. Continue baking, brushing with the glaze and the pan juices every 30 minutes, until the ham is a deep reddish-brown and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, 1 to 1 1/2 more hours. (Add 1/2 cup water to the pan if the juices dry out.)
  • Transfer the ham to a cutting board and let rest 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with the reserved glaze.

SPICY CARAMELIZED SQUASH WITH LEMON AND HAZELNUTS



Spicy Caramelized Squash With Lemon and Hazelnuts image

This ultimate sweet-and-salty squash recipe can be done with most hearty orange vegetables, like sweet potatoes or even carrots (no need to peel any of these). The vegetables are tossed simply with olive oil and something sticky, like maple syrup or honey, and roasted until tender and caramelized. To add some texture back into the mix, the vegetables are finished with toasted nuts and plenty of fresh lemon zest for some perkiness.

Provided by Alison Roman

Categories     dinner, vegetables, side dish

Time 50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (3- to 4-pound) winter squash, such as kabocha, red kuri or butternut
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/4 cup maple syrup, plus more for drizzling
1 tablespoon hot smoked paprika
2 teaspoons red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup hazelnuts, coarsely chopped (no need to remove the skins)
Flaky sea salt
1 lemon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Cut the squash in half lengthwise. Remove pulp and seeds, if you like. Continue to cut squash into 1 1/2-inch wedges.
  • Toss squash on a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil, maple syrup, paprika and red-pepper flakes. Season with kosher salt and pepper, and roast, turning each piece once, until both sides are evenly browned and squash is completely tender, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toast hazelnuts in a small skillet over medium heat, tossing frequently until they're evenly browned, about the color of a good piece of toast, and smell almost like popcorn, 4 to 6 minutes.

ROASTED HONEY CINNAMON BUTTERNUT SQUASH RECIPE



Roasted Honey Cinnamon Butternut Squash Recipe image

The perfect fall side dish that pairs perfectly with just about anything. It is so tasty, I would even eat it for dessert!

Provided by Camille Beckstrand

Categories     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 butternut squash (peeled, seeds removed, and cubed)
2 Tablespoons olive oil
3 Tablespoons honey
1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon (depending on how much you want)
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside (I also lined my baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up).
  • In a large bowl, toss squash with olive oil, honey, and cinnamon until all pieces of squash are lightly coated.
  • Spread squash in a single layer on the baking sheet (if you need to use two sheets to make it, be sure they are all in a single layer. If there is any overlap, the squash will steam instead of roast and we are going for that caramelized outside).
  • Roast in pre-heated oven for about 40 minutes or until squash reaches desired tenderness.
  • Top with salt and pepper and serve.

SPICY BUTTERNUT SQUASH



Spicy Butternut Squash image

This recipe is based on one from Carl Jerome's cookbook, Cooking for a New Earth. This is a microwave recipe. He says in its intro, "The spicy coating on these cubes of rich butternut squash can be either sweet or hot, depending on the kind of chili powder used. When the chili powder is barely hot, the sweet taste of the squash will dominate; if it is fiery hot, it will add contrast to this autumn vegetable. This versatile recipe can be served as part of a cold meal in August, when the first winter squashes appear in the market, or hot from the oven during the winter months."

Steps:

  • Mix chili powder and lemon juice together in small bowl. Place the squash in a very large microwave-safe bowl and pour the spicy lemon juice over it. Toss to coat cubes evenly. Push cubes toward the sides of the bowl so that they cook evenly.

  • If serving hot, scoop onto plate with a large serving spoon and serve immediately. If serving cold, refrigerate until cool.
