Braised and Glazed Butternut Squash

Published at In Category Blog, Butternut Squash, Recipes, Vegetables Tags: ,

From Mark Bittman: “This is your go-to recipe for everyday winter squash; it will work with any variety, but I usually turn to butternut because it’s so much easier to deal with than all the others. Once you peel and cut the squash, you braise it in a small amount of liquid, then boil off the remaining moisture to glaze it. Other vegetables you can use: any winter squash (except spaghetti), though they will all be more difficult to cut and peel than butternut.” This recipe is from his “How to Cook Everything” (Completely Revised 10th Anniversary Edition).

Cutting-Edge Collards

Another recipe from Southern Living. These days you can find really great smoked salts at stores like Strippaggio in Emory Point or Cook’s Warehouse. Use those instead of that hickory smoked salt they sell at the grocery store. They’re naturally smoked instead of artificially flavored and really yummy.
