PRESSURE COOKER SQUASH WITH HONEY AND LEMONGRASS
This caramelized delicata squash purée, adapted from Nathan Myhrvold's multivolume "Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking," is prepared in a pressure cooker. Normally, a pressure cooker wouldn't get hot enough to caramelize anything. But, Mr. Myhrvold explained, if you create an alkaline environment with a sprinkle of baking soda, you can caramelize at a lower temperature. And the pressurized environment helps ingredients caramelize through and through, not just around the outside. This gives the squash an intense, nutty flavor, which is enhanced here with buckwheat honey and lemongrass.
