Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound butternut or kabocha squash, peeled and cut into large chunks
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 clove garlic, unpeeled
1 teaspoon harissa (a North African hot sauce available in specialty shops)
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring about 6 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Then add the squash, salt and the garlic clove. Lower the heat and simmer until the squash is very tender.
  • Remove the squash to a mesh strainer, and squeeze the garlic out of its skin into the strainer. Mash the two together to help get rid of excess water.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in the harissa, salt to taste, the coriander, lemon juice and olive oil. Taste, adjust the seasonings, then serve.

The dressing is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I love the combination of roasted squash and sweet potatoes. Next time, I'll try using a different dressing.
