I think this recipe originally came from Better Homes and Gardens magazine. Substitute your fresh tomatoes for the canned ones if you like.
Slow Cooker Beef and Butternut Squash
Butternut Squash
Fall Squash and Pepper Soup
And fall boxes always include a variety of winter squash. Use your butternut or delicatas in this recipe adapted from a recipe by Steven Satterfield of Miller Union as demonstrated at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market. You can use all the different peppers from this week’s box as well, but you’ll have to find your own hot pepper.
Pork and Squash Stir-Fry
A simple recipe perfect for some Riverview pork and either your butternut or delicata squash.
Wilted Greens Salad with Butternut Squash and Apple
This recipe appeared in the February 2012 issue of Bon Appétit. It’s very like the wilted kale salads that have become ubiquitous on high-end salad bars.
This recipe is from Michael Paley of the Garage Bar in Louisville, Kentucky. As the magazine put it, “This dish flips conventional Southern cookery on its head. Rather than cooking greens into submission, they’re quickly brined to soften their texture and mellow their bitterness, then married with the sweet, salty, and creamy elements of a composed salad.”
I can’t wait to try this. And yes, I still have a butternut squash from last year’s box that’s been waiting for just this recipe.
Chicken and Butternut Squash Soup
If these cooler nights are making you think “soup”, here’s an easy, easy recipe. You could just roast the squash, onions and chicken and stop there, or you can cut it all up and turn it into soup. Your call.
Butternut Squash and Apple Gratin
This recipe is adapted from one by Mary Moore, owner of Cook’s Warehouse. Her recipe uses leeks. I’m suggesting sautéed onions instead. But by all means, if there’s a leek in your vegetable crisper (or rather, 4 leeks) please use those.
Bratwurst, Butternut Squash and Collard Green Stew
This recipe is adapted from one on Chow.com. I think the smallish butternut squash in my box today may be just the right size!
Butternut Crab Cake
Finally, that bounty of butternut squash may be getting a little daunting. This recipe is sort of out there, but David Larkworthy of Five Seasons Brewing Company is an amazingly talented chef, and this is one of his recipes. Worth considering, even if 2 pounds of jumbo lump crab meat will be quite an indulgence. Butternut squash in place of cracker crumbs, bread crumbs and other fillers … it’s the kind of thing only a chef would dream up.
Roasted Kohlrabi and Butternut Squash
www.epicurious.com
This site catalogues recipes from Gourmet Magazine, and is my first go-to resource. They have many suggestions for kohlrabi, but I couldn’t resist this entry which also features butternut squash.
South American Butternut Squash Stew
Thanks to Andrea B. who picks up her Riverview box in Grant Park for sending in this recipe from the February 2010 issue of Cuisine magazine. he recipe headnote says it’s an iconic South American stew called locro, and a perfect winter meal when served with crusty bread. This would be a great use for that jar of tomato sauce in this week’s box.
