Butternut Squash Portobello Tacos With Garlic Sage Cream Sauce Food

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SAUCE WITH SAGE

Steps:

• Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise to remove the seeds and strings. Peel the skin using a paring knife and cut the squash into small cubes.
• Place the olive oil and shallots in a deep skillet over medium heat. When the shallots begin to color, add the squash and season with salt and pepper. Saute a few minutes to lightly caramelize the surface of the cubes. Add the bay leaf, nutmeg, sage, and chicken broth. Cover the pan and cook until the squash is tender but still holding its shape, about 8 minutes.
• Puree the sauce with a standard or immersion blender and serve with potato gnocchi. Top with grated cheese and chopped chestnuts before serving. If desired, fry some sage and shallots in olive oil to garnish.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F; lightly spray two rimmed baking sheets with avocado oil cooking spray (or broth) or line with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a bowl, spray the squash with avocado oil then toss with cayenne pepper and cumin; season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to one of the prepared baking sheets and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon thyme.
• Combine portobello caps, red onion slices, garlic, chili, and remaining thyme in a bowl; drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread onto the other baking sheet. Spray with avocado oil or drizzle on some vegetable broth.
• Place both sheets in the oven and bake, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are cooked and begin to caramelize (about 15 to 20 minutes for the portobello mushrooms and 20 to 25 minutes for the squash). If needed, add a splash of water (or vegetable broth) to the baking sheets during the cooking process. Toss the vegetables together, adjust seasoning if needed, and scatter pumpkin seeds and parsley on top. Use as a taco filling with sliced onions, guacamole, and salsa.
