| Winter Squash with Cider and Sage |
|
Recipe from Robin Puskas, owner of NY Kitchen Co., www.nykitchenco.com
Winter squash comes into season in New York as early as the beginning of September. Many recipes that call for pumpkin, such as pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread, are also suitable for winter squash. Sweeter varieties of winter squash include butternut, cushaw, calabaza and kobacha, and any of these would also work in the delicata squash recipe below.
* 1 ½ lb delicata squash or other winter squash, peeled and seeded, and sliced thinly
salt to taste
* ½ cup apple cider
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 3 sage leaves, cut into thin ribbons
a pinch of fresh grated nutmeg
*Ingredients seasonally available at the Union Square Greenmarket.
1. Combine the squash, salt, and cider or water in a sauté pan and heat over medium flame. Bring to a simmer and cover to cook about 12-15 minutes or until squash is tender. Cooking time will depend on the size of squash slices.
2. Transfer squash with a slotted spoon to serving dish, then pour off excess liquid and reserve.
3. Heat saucepan over medium flame. Add butter and rotate pan to distribute the melting butter.
4. When bubbling subsides and butter begins to brown and release a nutty fragrance, add sage and a tablespoon of the cooking liquid. Immediately pour butter over squash.
5. Grate a small amount of nutmeg over squash and serve. Serves four as a side dish.

The approaching Thanksgiving holiday caps what has been a trying year. As farmers and Greenmarket staff gear up to provide pumpkins, Brussels sprouts, crisp apples, and other late season bounty for the city's holiday gatherings, we also pause to reflect on the season's blessings.
When spring's heavy rains poured down on the markets you put on your rain boots and came out anyway. When the unrelenting wetness split cherries and swelled peaches, you took them home to make jams and pies. You took the time to talk to farmers, to linger and trade recipes with neighbors, to fill your bags and haul your catch home on the train, and most importantly, to consider the value of good food raised with care.
Just as our farmers can't do without soil, rain, and sun, we couldn't do it without you-the devoted marketgoers who make our mission possible. Thank you!
