The umami flavors of soy sauce and toasted nuts create a pleasing richness to this hearty winter squash & kale dish.

Ingredient
Prep Method
1
Medium
Acorn squash

1
Medium
Butterkin squash




Roast the squashes on a parchment or foil lined baking sheet at 425 for about an hour or until soft and skin is golden.  

 We roasted the squashes along w/ an eggplant for Easy Ganoosh.  All from the same Hungry Harvest box this week.

 Allow to cool completely.  I usually do the roasting the day before.  In a large skillet or wok, combine the following:



1
Cup
Water

¼
Cup
Sherry
Or orange juice
1 ½
Tablespoons
Soy sauce

½
Teaspoon
Black pepper

1 - 3
Teaspoons
Fresh minced ginger
Optional
1
4 inch piece
Citrus peel
Orange or grapefruit, optional
1
Large
Bay leaf
Optional
1
Medium
HOT chili
Optional



Bring to a simmer over medium heat while you prep out the squash.   


Here's how easy it is to skin a squash.   


Cut in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, then scoop the flesh into the skillet in large tablespoonfuls.  Allow to simmer in the sauce for about 5 mins, then add:



1
Bunch
Kale
About 2 quarts trimmed



Wash the kale well, remove the stems and break the leaves into bite-sized pieces.  Fold in the kale and cook until just tender, about 5 mins more.



Garnish w/ Toasted Almonds



1/3
Cup
Sliced almonds




Toasted in a 350 oven for 10 to 15 mins, or in a dry stainless steel or cast iron skillet over a medium heat on the stove.
