Bahia Butternut Mash

One of my friends started eating a macrobiotic diet. Trying to find something that would fit her new dietary choices, I adapted this recipe for Bahia Butternut Mash that both omnivores and vegans enjoyed. The butternut squash and carrots both were flavorful and sweet and the bright orange added a colorful dish to the dinner table. Very easy to cook ( Read more... )

YUM!

I love butternut squash. Last fall I roasted it with some root vegetables and the whole family liked it. I'll have to try this as a side.

If you hate to peel squash, try cutting it in half, scooping out the seeds & roasting it instead of boiling. It gives the squash a rich flavor, and you can just scoop the flesh out of the skin/rind. The texture will be soft.

This sounds perfect for a fall meal!

I'll try the roasting way first in the fall probably. I just tried a similar thing this weekend by roasting acorn squash with garlic, then mixing in some caramelized onions. I know...lately I've been cooking things that are more suitable for fall/winter. Guess I'm just trying to thumb my nose at the heat.

Funny, I had exactly the same reaction as I read the recipe. It's a lot less hassle than peeling and chopping only to mash it later. I was going to fashion a reply along these lines until I read your comment.

I agree, perfect for the fall.

How is the flavor of butternut squash different from yellow squash? I've never had it before.

And I'm not sure I've had yellow squash. Butternut squash has a hearty sweetness to it. I'll assume yellow squash has a texture similar to zucchini since the kind I'm thinking of looks like a yellow zucchini anyhow. Butternut squash has a firmer texture, more similar to maybe a more fibrous sweet potato. (but not as sweet as a sweet potato). Try it. I think you'll like it.
