Winter Squash with Caramelized Onions (Cassolita)

May 5, 2012 By Valerie

May is international tagine month. We are holding our 2nd annual tagine recipe contest. First prize will be decided by our panel of judges, and to the victor goes one of our new Flameware Dutch Ovens. Tagine month has inspired me to explore outside of my tagine comfort zone. I always look first to Paula Wolfert for recipes. As I was thumbing through her newest book, The Food of Morocco, I realized I forgot to post this AMAZING recipe last Winter. I used my fresh butternut squash and onions from my CSA share from Loon Organics.

Winter Squash with Caramelized Onions (Cassolita)
2 pounds butternut, calabaza, or kabocha squash, halved lengthwise and seeded.
3 T vegetable oil
1/2 cup slivered almonds
2 pounds onions, thinly sliced into rounds
Salt
1/3 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley
2 T sugar, plus (optional) 1 T
1/2 cup dark raisins
Fresh ground black pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

 

2. Place the squash cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet. Add 1/2 cup water, cover with aluminum foil, and bake until the squash is very soft, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and, once cool enough to handle, scoop out the pulp into a large bowl.

3. Heat the oil in your cazuela (or skillet), Toss the almonds and cook until golden. With slotted spoon, remove to a plate and set aside.
4. Saute the onions over medium heat until translucent. Add salt to taste, 2 T of the parsley, 2 t of sugar, cinnamon, and raisins and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30 more minutes, or until the onions are caramelized.

5. Gently fold the onions into the squash. Season with pepper and more salt, if necessary, and, if you wish, the extra T of sugar. Serve warm from your cazuela.

Paula Wolfert’s Moroccan Dessert “Truffles” with Dates, Almonds, and Apples

March 8, 2012 By Valerie

 

Every year I go vegan for about a month. My strongest temptation during this time is desserts. I thought this year I would start my vegan cleanse by having a satisfying sweet on hand to combat my cravings.

This recipe from Paula’s newest book, The Food of Morocco satisfies my sweet tooth, and it is so easy! 5 ingredients, 30 minutes, and you have a tasty, vegan treat. Her recipes are often accompanied with a story of how they came to be.  This recipe can be traced back to Toledo, Spain, just before the inquisition. The people of Toledo fled to Tetouan, an important refuge city for Spanish Jews near Tangier. From Tetouan it became popular in French cuisine by way of Paris. With the help of Paula’s book, it has now found its way to Hutchinson, MN. Continue its global journey…

Moo Joos for me and my beer can chicken baker…

December 1, 2011 By Valerie

This summer I had the opportunity to take a tour of the Brau Brothers Brewery in Lucan, Minnesota. While sampling their collection of crafted beers, an inspiration for a Christmas gift came to mind. Why not pair a 6 pack of a locally crafted beer with a handmade pottery beer can chicken baker? You could also make your own dry rub that compliments the beer you’ve chosen. If you don’t want to make one, go to Penzeys site to find a store near you. We recommend their Galena Street Rub, also their Mural of Flavor, and their 4/s(Special seasoned sea salts.)  Now you have a thoughtful, personalized gift. It also supports an artist and your local economy.
