Most of you would say yes to both, but not together in one dish. That was my thought exactly when I found the recipe. I had a butternut squash sitting in my kitchen for 3 weeks now and it had to be prepared. I had no idea what to eat today including that squash. The ingredients are pretty basic and together with some bits of salad and some fruit the combination was amazing.
While I enjoyed it, I discovered I made a vegan dish.
Preheat the oven 170 C fan. To begin with you have to wash the squash, half it lenghwise and scoop out the seeds with the hairy flesh. Use some rapeseed oil and brush the squash on both sides. Season with salt and pepper.
Set it in the oven, cut side facing up and bake for 30 min. Check with a knife if it is ready after 30 min. Get it out and let it cool a little. Keep the oven running.
recipe for 2:
1 butternut squash
4 medium onions
2 tbsp rapeseed oil
1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
50 g almond flakes
1/2 tsp chili powder
salt and pepper
1 pomegranate
50 g lambs lettuce
dressing
Cut the onion in half rings, wash the lambs lettuce, get the pomegranate seeds out without making a horrible red mess.
In a dry pan toast the almond flakes, set aside.
In the same pan heat up 1 1/2 tbsp oil and saute the onions. Add brown sugar and start to caramelize. Add chili and cinnamon and season with salt and pepper.
Mix in the almonds and give it a good stir.
Scoop out some of the flesh and fill up part of the hole were the seeds stayed, layer the onion mix on both halfs and place the butternut back into the oven for 15 min.
Make a dressing for the salad with oil and vinegar and some seasoning and place a bit on top of the butternut. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds.
