I try to change it up every year, in terms of side dishes or even a starter when I am hosting a get-together for the holidays – in the U.S. meaning to clarify – Thanksgiving or a party between the holidays. So, this amazing dish with honey butter roasted acorn, burrata and pomegranate made it on my menu for Thanksgiving:
INGREDIENTS
- 2 acorn squash, seeded and cut into wedges
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey, plus more for drizzling
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
- kosher salt and pepper
- 2-3 balls burrata cheese
- extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 4 fresh sage leaves, chopped
- 1/2 cup roasted, salted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup pomegranate arils
