Butternut Squash And Noodles With Coconut Lime And Cilantro Sauce Food

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND GREEN CURRY SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Melt oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add shallots, ginger, lemongrass and a generous pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are tender and just starting to brown, about 18 minutes.
• Add squash, coconut milk, curry paste, 3 tablespoons fish sauce and 3 cups water or stock. Increase heat to high. When liquid comes to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook the soup covered until squash is tender, about 25 minutes.
• Make garnish while soup cooks: In a medium mixing bowl, toss together peanuts, coconut flakes, fish sauce, chiles, 1 tablespoon oil, the minced lemongrass, the sugar and the lime leaves, if using.
• Spread mixture out onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes after the first 10 minutes. Remove from oven when coconut is deep golden brown, and pour mixture immediately into a bowl to prevent overcooking. Stir to combine, and set aside.
• Remove soup from heat. Remove lemongrass stalks from pot. Use a hand blender to purée soup. Alternatively, transfer soup in batches to a blender or food processor and purée. Taste and adjust for salt and curry paste. Add water or stock to thin soup to the desired consistency.
• Thinly slice the basil leaves and arrange on a small plate or platter, along with lime wedges and peanut mixture. Serve soup hot with garnishes.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH NOODLES WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Using a spiralizer, make "buttles" (butternut squash noodles) from the squash.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat until glistening. Add the squash noodles and saute until softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pulse 1/2 cup of the chanterelles and 1/2 cup of the king trumpet mushrooms in a food processor until ground.
• Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Fry the sage until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the garlic and shallots to the pan and sweat until just translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the ground mushrooms and cook until starting to brown, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cream and wine and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
• On a baking sheet, spread out the remaining 1/2 cup chanterelles, 1/2 cup king trumpets and the Brussels sprouts in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil to lightly coat; season with salt and pepper. Roast until starting to brown and the Brussels sprouts are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Toss the noodles in the cream sauce, then divide among four plates. Top with the roasted Brussel sprouts and mushrooms. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and garnish with the crispy sage.
