How to cook winter squash or pumpkin

September 22nd, 2010
  • 1.  Cut winter squash in half and scoop out the seeds and stringy flesh before cooking. Remove any stems.
  • 2.  Roast winter squash halves or pieces, without peeling, in a 400 degree F oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until tender. Serve with butter, brown sugar or maple syrup. Try butter mixed with cinnamon and red chili for a change of pace.
  • 3.  Scoop the roasted squash out of the peels and mash with butter and milk or cream. Add some grated Gruyere cheese or the sugar or syrup.
  • 4.  Peel the squash with a vegetable peeler and cut into chunks. Roast the chunks with onion wedges and olive oil for 35 to 45 minutes, or until tender. Toss with fresh chopped sage and parsley.
  • 5.  Boil squash chunks for 5 to 15 minutes, depending on size. Mash or use in recipes.
  • 6.  Fry peeled squash slices in a mixture of butter and oil, or in olive oil, over medium heat until golden brown and tender on both sides.  Bread the slices lightly with cornmeal if you like.
  • 7.  Add cooked, diced winter squash to a basic risotto.
