Fabulous unexpected flavor. I just put this in my favorite Italian dish, let it sit out on kitchen countertop (covered and enjoy for a day or so and pretend I am in Italy. It just gets better the longer it sits like caponata.

I was tired of sweet recipes for butternut squash and found this one. It is unusual to find a winter squash paired with a vinegrette like this. I loved the way it tasted, and my wife liked it too. I really went well with the rest beef bracciole. We have already decided this will be made again.
