CASSOLITA (WINTER SQUASH WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS)
This recipe was brought to The Times by Joan Nathan and was featured in her cookbook "Quiches, Kugels, and Couscous: My Search for Jewish Cooking in France." Here, caramelized onions, cinnamon, raisins and toasted almonds are tossed with mashed winter squash (butternut, calabaza or kabocha work well) for a sophisticated and lightly-sweet cold weather side dish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the squash, cut-side down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Add 1/4 cup of water, cover with aluminum foil, and bake until the squash is very soft, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, and, once cool enough to handle, scoop out the pulp into a large bowl.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet, and toss in the almonds and cook until golden. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon, and set aside. Sauté the onions in the same pan over medium heat until translucent. Then add salt to taste, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, 2 teaspoons of the sugar, the cinnamon and the raisins, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30 more minutes or until the onions are caramelized.
- Gently fold the onions into the squash. Season with pepper and more salt, if necessary, and sprinkle with the remaining parsley, the almonds and, if you wish, the extra tablespoon of sugar. Serve immediately, or make ahead and reheat.

MOROCCAN BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS (CASSOLITA)
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°. Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and place on a baking sheet. Bake until the squash is extra soft, about 30 minutes or more. Remove from oven and set aside until cool enough to handle.
- As soon as the squash is in the oven, start caramelizing the onions. Heat oil in a large skillet. Saute the onions over medium low heat until translucent. Add 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tsp of sugar, the cinnamon and raisins and turn heat to low and cover, stirring occasionally. Cook until onions are jammy and caramelized, and until the squash is cooked.
- Once onions are underway, toast the almonds on a baking sheet in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Scoop butternut squash out of the shell and add to the skillet with the onions. Add 1/2 of the parsley and stir gently. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon onto plates and garnish with the slivered almonds and remaining parsley. Spoon over Israeli couscous if desired.
