Bahia Butternut Mash

Jul 31, 2006 19:16

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... )

yes indeed it is tasty. I'll be eating this a lot more often I think in the fall.

a serrated peeler makes the peeling job way easier. seriously. i've peeled everything with this little guy--peaches, carrots, eggplant, pumpkins, tomatoes, butternut squash, you name it! i've also peeled my fingers but let's not talk about that.

i found you through the cooking community...i hope you dont mind that i added you as a friend.

Welcome. Always glad to have another reader. Thanks for the suggestion on the serrated peeler but ow on peeling your fingers.

Looks yummy. I love butternut squash. TJ sells pre peeled and chopped that are a godsend for klutzes like me (I usually manage to gash myself cutting and peeling those suckers).

I love butternut squash most in my potato roti dish. Mmmmmm.

This looks delicious. Great recipe.

I'm going to try it in fall but I think I'm going to roast the butternut squash rather than peel, chop, boil, and mash. Also, I think I'll roast some pine nuts and use that as a garnish. I might test a small portion with cinnamon just to see if it blends with the rest of the flavors.

Thank you for sharing it!

Oooh. Sounds like a Lebanese take on this dish. Yum! Add a little allspice and serve it with a side of yogurt!!!

Indian spices might also work well here.

Good suggestions. That's food for thought (hee hee).

Next time I'll roast in the oven too. This weekend I tried a similar dish with acorn squash, roasting it with garlic in it. Then mashed the scooped-out squash with the roasted garlic and caramelized onions. So delicious.
