Big Fowl Day

[lsanderson]

Happy Big Fowl Day to those that partake of our curious habits. Happy Chanukah as well.

I have a mountain of sprouts to split, two stools to assemble, and a squash and red onions to cut up just to see if it tastes half as good as it looks.

Hmm, I was supposed to post this earlier...

So how was the squash and red onions?

Stunning!

Visually stunning. When I do it again, I'll peel the squash. (The Times said it was fine to eat the peel on butternut after baking it, and it was, but not as good as no peel.) The outer peel of the onion dried out too much. I was leery of the tahini dressing for it, but after trying it, it worked fine -- it was bitter by itself, but against the sweet onion and squash, it was fine.



I bought too many red onions, but I was planning on cooking the other half of the first squash I bought. Cutting them into 1/16ths and leaving the root section worked wonderfuly for keeping the sections together. One thing I really loved about it, is that you can do it ahead and serve it at room temperature.

Despite the visual appeal, it is just roasted onions and squash, but everything is in nice serving sizes.
