![]() The chilli flakes (I used red pepper flakes) give you a lot of flexibility in heat: I kept it light considering the people being served, but it would be easy to amp up to whatever level you prefer. ![]() The honey and balsamic vinegar work well with the squash and the feta, and you can tweak the final flavor with an herb feta, as I did. I don’t know if it actually softened the squash, but that’s the idea. I did follow advice from one site and nuked the squash on high for 30 seconds. ![]() I used a straight swivel peeler, the kind I grew up with, and it got the job done. You can actually peel the squash with a regular vegetable peeler, though websites I checked recommend a Y shaped peeler with a carbon steel blade. That said, I’m confident this would work well with the flesh of a small pumpkin, or from most if not any other squash. If you know of something called “butternut pumpkin” that is not the same as butternut squash, send me a note. The recipe calls for “butternut pumpkin or squash,” but as near as I can tell, it’s talking about squash. Indeed, being NOT potato, mushroom, bean or carrot, it is likely to fit a lot of menus. But while it’s billed by the website as a Thanksgiving side, it’ll obviously do for most dinners. Jay made veal patties, carrots and mashed potatoes. Usually, the two highest compliments you could elicit from Jay were “doesn’t stink,” and “not too shabby.” Well, this dish did better.Īs the photo shows, this was not a side to a turkey dinner. Long-time readers (going back to a TL Test Kitchen 14 months ago) might remember our family run-on gag. ![]() I’ll almost definitely try that last one, probably this Thanksgiving, but for a recipe brought to you in time to try for your Turkey Day feast, I took a crack at “Roasted Pumpkin With Honey and Feta,” making it as a side to my brother Jay’s (of “Uncle Jake’s Favorite Recipes”) Sunday supper during his recent visit to our West Hazleton Homestead. The list of 14 unconventionals at includes “Apple Hazelnut Stuffed Acorn Squash,” “Jalepeño-Cheddar Corn Pudding,” “Hasselback Butternut Squash,” “Cider-and-Bourbon-Glazed Shallots,” and “Maple Roasted Carrots with Tahini Yogurt.” Not sweet potatoes? Well, there is a recipe, but it’s different from any I’ve seen. So, the website teases “unconventional Thanksgiving side dishes,” and what would your first expectation be? ![]()
