Serving Suggestions:
- I saw dumpling squash on tomorrow’s list and my mind first went to stuffing it (Thanksgiving is only two weeks away after all). So I went searching for inspiration for a few stuffing ideas that are far from “traditional” Thanksgiving flavors. Start with some sauteed aromatics (onion, garlic, leek, shallot, etc), add that to a big mixing bowl with your dried bread/stuffing cubes, moisten with a flavorful liquid like broth, and then gently stir in the below ingredients before stuffing and baking off your par-roasted squash until super tender…
- Blue cheese crumbles, walnuts, dried cranberries
- Crispy pancetta, rough chopped broccoli rabe leaves, shaved parm
- Slivered almonds, golden raisins, zaatar
