Sweet and sour winter squash

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Olive oil
1 Butternut or other winter squash; about 2 pounds
cup Red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Sugar
½ teaspoon Salt
2 Garlic cloves; peeled and finely chopped
cup Chopped fresh mint; basil or flat leaf parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Generously brush two 15 by 10 by 1-inch jelly roll pans with olive oil.

Cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds and membranes. Peel the squash and cut it into ¼-inch thick slices. Arrange the squash in the pans in a single layer. Brush the slices with additional oil. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the slices and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.

In a small saucepan, heat the vinegar, sugar and salt and stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

Arrange a single layer of the squash in a shallow dish. Sprinkle with some of the garlic and mint. Continue layering the remaining squash, sprinkling each layer with herbs. Pour the vinegar mixture over all. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. Serve cold.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings
