Braised and Glazed Butternut Squash

April 1, 2016

From Mark Bittman: “This is your go-to recipe for everyday winter squash; it will work with any variety, but I usually turn to butternut because it’s so much easier to deal with than all the others.

Other vegetables you can use: any winter squash (except spaghetti), though they will all be more difficult to cut and peel than butternut.” This recipe is from his “How to Cook Everything” (Completely Revised 10th Anniversary Edition).

Crowder peas! Yum. Before I give you a formal recipe, let me just say that my favorite way to fix crowder peas is so simple, and involves those green beans in today’s box as well. Trim and break up the green beans and toss them and the crowder peas in lightly salted water. Boil until…

A decadent use for those yummy no-spray apples. I have a weakness for recipes that juxtapose sweet and hot.
