Ingredients

  • 2 pound piece hubbard or other large squash variety
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 bunch parsley leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves

Directions

Peel the squash and remove the strings and the seeds. Cut the pulp into slices no more than 1/2-inch thick and season with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat, saute the squash slices in olive oil until tender and browned on both sides, about 10 minutes. Add cinnamon, garlic, parsley and sugar. Season well with salt and pepper. Add a sprinkling of oil and add the vinegar and mint leaves. Toss. Arrange the squash on a large platter.

Pour the sauce over the squash and let cool. Serve cold.

    Brilliant

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Vinegar does beautiful things for the flavor of winter squash. I had already parboiled the squash and didn't have fresh... mint - I'm looking forward to making the complete recipe - instead of dreading the boring old squash still in the cellar. Thank you!Read more

    Delightfully agrodolce

    Great range of flavors in this dish, and the mint really makes it standout. Would suggest using brown sugar in place of... white. Will be using it for Thanksgiving. Thanks Mario!Read more
