Winter Squash, hardly and long lasting in winter, is a comfort food for those cold winter days when you think Spring is a long way away……this rich and hearty dish is belly satisfying! Roasting in the oven (as shown below) or pan frying intensifies the sugars in the squash giving it an added dimension in flavor! Winter squash of all kinds can be found on our table through out the season. |
 Roasted Butternut Squash
1-1/4 lbs. acorn or butternut squash
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. corn oil
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup Madeira wine
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 tbsp. melted butter
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
Peel, quarter and seed squash. Cut into 1/4-inch slices. Saute in butter and oil until lightly browned, 2–3 minutes
Butter a 1-qt. baking dish. Place half of squash in dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour on half of a mixture of the cream and Madeira. Top with remaining squash and season. Pour on remaining cream and Madeira mixture.
Combine breadcrumbs and nuts with melted butter and sprinkle on top. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes or until squash is done.

My friends hall and back porch were converted into the “street” from which delicious foods such as Italian and Caribbean kebabs and Bolivian cheese empanadas were served. As we continued our “world tour” we sampled falafel from Arabia, spicy potato roti from India, and other delicious treats. Cranberry kvass is a popular thirst quencher in Russia. We were dubious about the mildly fermented creation, but were pleased to discover it was actually quite good. A favorite recipe
