Butternut Squash with Caramelized Onions and Dried Cranberries
I enjoy this rich-tasting vegetable dish on its own or alongside fish, chicken or beef. This combination—smooth, creamy squash, dried cranberries, cinnamon and maple syrup— is like candy food!
Serves 6
Ingredients:
- 1½ lb butternut squash, peeled and cut in 1-inch cubes (about ½ squash)
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
- 3 cups sliced sweet onion
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp olive oil
- pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 Tbsp almonds, toasted
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Method
Cook the squash in a large pot of boiling water just until tender, about 15 minutes.While it cooks, heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the onions are golden, about 8 minutes, stirring often so as not to burn them. Toss in the cranberries.
Drain the squash. Add the maple syrup, olive oil, salt and pepper; mash thoroughly. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the onion mixture. Garnish with almonds and parsley.
