With Canadian Thanksgiving so near, couldn't resist testing this for Thankgsgiving dinner.I made half a recipe and it is wonderful!! It will be a part of our Thanksgiving dinner. (Possibly for years to come!!) from Canadian living mag. Ingredients:
1/2 butternut squash or 1 acorn squash, about a pound (butternut squash is the easiest to peel and cut into finger sized sticks) |
2 cups green beans, about 8 ounces |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 tablespoon butter |
2 tablespoons maple syrup |
2 teaspoons soy sauce |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2/3 cup toasted walnuts, perferably whole halfs |
Directions:
1. Peel and cut squash into 3 x 1/2 x 1/2 inch strips to make about 5 cups, set aside.
2. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, blanch the green beans until tender crisp, about 3 to 6 minutes.
3. Drain and chill under cold water; drain well.
4. (Make ahead: wrap veggies separately in towels; enclose in plastic bags and refrigerate for up to 1 day.) In a large nonstick frypan, heat oil and butter over medium high heat until foaming.
5. Add squash;cover and cook, turning twice,until tender crisp, about 5 minutes.
6. Add green beans, maple syrup, soy sauce, salt and pepper; cook turning gently, until heated through and evenly coated.
