Roasted Squash w/ Agrodolce
Agrodolce. Sweet & Sour.
Anchovies, capers, raisins......my favorite flavor profile. I must've been Sicilian in a former life.
Here, I roasted butternut squash with kosher salt, pimenton & olive oil at 400F for about 25 minutes (flip after 15 minutes) on a parchment lined sheet pan.
While the squash is roasting, make the agrodolce:
2 shallots or half red onion, sliced
1 tbsp capers
2 tbsp raisins
3 anchovies
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
a few tablespoons of olive oil
Cook this mixture on low heat for a few minutes, until the shallots are cooked and the raisins are plumpy!
I plated the squash with a fresh ball of mozzarella (burrata also good) and spooned some of the sauce on top.
A sprinkle of toasted chopped hazelnuts, please.
Fresh basil or mint would be fantastic here, but it's winter, and I only had parsley.
This was a 10!
Sorry for the short posts lately.........I think blog readership is down and it takes so much time to do a post with photos.......instagram is much easier.
Love, Stacey
