It's September and 85 degrees in Midland, so of course thoughts turn to the warm, comforting foods of fall. Actually, I saw a movie and had dinner with friends on Saturday and they were kind enough to send me home with some of the overflow from their CSA: some peculiar green and yellow squash, two butternut squashes and a variety of onions. Wonderful.
So, for dinner I cooked the squash, added salt, pepper, butter, a drizzle of maple syrup and 1/4 tsp. of garam masala, them topped it with some walnuts for a little crunch. It added the kick the sweet, rich squash called for and made it the perfect accompaniment to my BBQ Quorn.
Garam masala is an Indian spice mixture used in many different curries, but can also he added to a variety of other foods. Like on winter squash! If you haven't tried it, you should. I'm making a tomato based pea and paneer curry tomorrow night that will also feature some garam masala. I'll be sure and share the recipe...
