Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash, about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds
  • 1 pound fresh green Poblano chiles (about 4 whole peppers), or 1 cup canned Poblanos
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 cup grated Monterey Jack

Directions

With a vegetable peeler, peel the squash, then cut in half, and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into 1/4-inch pieces.

Roast the peppers by placing them over a stovetop gas flame, turning them frequently with tongs until all sides are charred black, about 7 to 10 minutes. (Alternately, the peppers can be roasted under a broiler, or on top of a gas or charcoal grill.) Place the blackened peppers in a plastic or paper bag, and let rest until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Remove the stems and seeds, and chop.

Heat the oil in a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the squash, salt, and chili powder, and stir well. Cover and cook until the squash is almost tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in chiles and cook, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese over the vegetables and cover. Lower the heat to medium-low and cook until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.

Serve hot out of the pan.

    Very unique and delicious

    I used canned green chilis instead of poblano. It was very good but would like to make with poblano next time. Delicious!

    Excellent and not just because I like squash

    Even my unbelieving 8 year old likes this and it's not macaroni and cheese which is typically her only source of nutrition.

    Very good. I did it with pasilla chiles instead of poblanos because they were all I could find at my supermarket and it... worked out quite nicely.Read more
