Friday Foodie Fix – Squash

This week’s Secret Ingredient for Friday Foodie Fix is Squash.  Winter squash comes in a wide range of varieties.  It ranges from as small as your hand to over 100 pounds.  Some are long others are round.  They all have a similar flavor but the sweetness, flavor intensity, water content and color of the flesh will vary according to type.

Squash will last a long time as long as you don’t cut into it.  Once cut you should refrigerate it and use it within a day before it starts to go rancid.

We are not big squash eaters around here.  I’ve only really eaten it once in a New Mexican Stew recipe I made from Karina Allrich.  It was really good but I didn’t venture out any further with winter squash.  So I thought I would make it this week’s ingredient and you could share recipes you think I should try.

We did receive a lot of butternut squash in our CSA.  I’m going to roast some and add it to a mushroom penne pasta for my vegetarian son for Thanksgiving.  Hope that will work out.  I can’t wait to see your ideas!
