SWEET AND SOUR BUTTERNUT SQUASH OR PUMPKIN



Sweet and Sour Butternut Squash or Pumpkin image

This dish from Madhur Jaffrey, the well-known Indian cookbook author, belongs to a category of Bangladeshi foods known as bharats. Part relish and part vegetable dish, they add extra flavor to a meal. "We are beginning to find peeled and seeded butternut squash in our supermarkets now, making this dish a snap to make," Ms. Jaffrey says. Use mustard oil for an authentic Bengali taste, or substitute olive oil. Mustard oil and other Asian ingredients and seasonings like asafetida and urad dal can be found in Indian food stores and specialty shops.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons mustard oil or olive oil
A generous pinch of ground asafetida

4 cups (1 1/4 pounds) peeled and seeded butternut squash or pumpkin, cut into segments 3/4- to 1-inch in size

1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon plain yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

  • Add 1/4 cup of water, cover, turn heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
  • Add the salt, sugar, cayenne and yogurt. Stir and cook, uncovered, over medium heat until the yogurt is absorbed and no longer visible. Sprinkle in the cilantro and stir a few times.

SWEET AND SOUR WINTER SQUASH



Sweet and Sour Winter Squash image

This dish is based on a Sicilian recipe that I learned from the food writer Clifford A. Wright. The sweet and sour flavors are typical of Sicilian cuisine, though I have changed the technique used in the authentic version, which entails sautéing the squash in a lot more oil.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, quick

Time 40m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 pounds winter squash, diced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 to 4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a baking dish large enough to accommodate the squash in an even layer, toss the squash with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and place in the oven. Roast 20 minutes, until not quite tender. Remove from the heat.
  • Dissolve the sugar in the vinegar in a small bowl. Heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet, and add the garlic and the squash. Cook, stirring gently, for a few minutes, until fragrant and the squash is tender but not too soft - about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the sugar and vinegar, and continue to cook, stirring gently, until the liquid is just about gone. Add the mint, cook for another minute, and remove from the heat. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.
