I couldn’t have said it better myself – “I really love butternut squash. And I love browned butter. And I love toasted nuts.” You have hit the nail on the head. This dish is an absolute delight, and it just says “I am ready for fall.” Brava! I just had to give it a try.
This recipe sounds really delicious! As a vegetarian, this is right up my alley, especially for Fall! I’m saving this for next time I get some butternut squash!
Looks and sounds delicious Madonna. Now I just need to find some hazelnuts. We have been eating lots of roasted vegies lately. Love them. Browned butter with the nuts takes roasted squash over the top. Thanks for posting this.
Penny, try Trader Joes for nuts if you have one in your area. I think this is really a keeper recipe. I was so pleasantly surprised after my other fail. 🙂
Ottolenghi’s just has a way with food. I am so glad to have found him. I hope you will make this Sam. You are such a good cook, I would never recommend it if I did not think it was that good.
Some really tasty dishes can look really unattractive! Hate it when that happens. Anyway, this is a great looking dish, and the flavor sounds so interesting. Definitely a winner. Thanks!
Thanks John. This squash is prettier than my photos, but I don’t think I could convince anyone of the other dish. I still plan to work on it, but it was certainly not photogenic.
“Yum” really doesn’t do this dish justice! I am with you Madonna – I LOVE butternut squash, brown butter and nuts and together??? I’d probably eat the entire plate!! I am also a huge fan of Ottolenghi!!!
“Yum” really doesn’t do this dish justice! I am with you Madonna – I LOVE butternut squash, brown butter and nuts and together??? I’d probably eat the entire plate!! I am also a huge fan of Ottolenghi!!! BTW, your photos of this dish are beautiful!! Now… where is my fork???
Nancy, I wish I was a better photographer and stylist. This is so darned good. I am not bragging, Ottolenghi is just that good. I love him. He will make you a vegetable lover. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and letting me know you are out there. You are such a good chef, it thrills and scares me when talented people comment. 🙂
I hate when that happens but we’ve all been there! This squash recipes looks amazing. A few years ago I made a butternut squash ravioli with browned butter and hazelnuts so I know how good the combination is. Anything is better with nuts in my book 🙂
I’m excited that you found butternut squash. I’ve been looking but have only seen a few tiny ones. This sounds wonderful and yes, Ottolenghi recipes are generally really good. He has such a way with veggies! I have all four of his books and have read them like novels 🙂
Chris, I thought of you when I made this. I believe I read that you ate at his restaurant when you visited your daughter. All I could think was lucky you.
I have printed the recipe and can’t wait to try this, Madonna. I love the ingredients – butternut squash is one of our favorite veggies. I live in hazelnut country and am always looking for recipes that call for them. Beautiful presentation.
Cathy, How lucky to be in hazelnut country. I buy mine from Trader Joes – they sell a lot so they are always fresh and reasonably priced. I usually keep some in the freezer to make homemade nutella.
Let me know your thoughts when you make the squash. I want to know if you are as happy as I am with Chef Ottolenghi.
YUM! Have you ever made it with different nuts? I have a bag of cashews just dying to be cooked into something delicious… Found you through Funtastic Friday! 🙂
Sarah, I won’t tell you no, but I really suggest the hazelnuts. They just pair well with the squash and browned butter. Let me know how your version goes.
Oh Madonna, how’d I miss this recipe?? I love butternut squash, too, and browned butter and nuts. What a lovely presentation you’ve made on the plate and garnished with sprigs of thyme. I will definitely try this recipe when Fall comes to Texas! Thanks for sharing and I’ll look for some hazelnuts at TJ’s next time that I’m there
Kitty, I think you will like this recipe. Ottolenghi called for chives, but I had thyme. I was pretty happy with it. Let me know if you make it, I would love your input.
This is a happy serendipity! I just harvested 7 butternut squash from my garden and will be looking for ways to cook/eat them. This recipe sounds so good. I picked up Ottolenghi’s Jerusalem cookbook for a song recently and I’m going to look if this recipe is in it. Yum to browned butter, squash and crunchy hazelnuts!
Lorrie, how lucky are you to have your own garden with butternut squash and find a Ottolenghi book. He just has a way with food. I hope you make this soon.
Loving this and I’m drooling right now! You are so talented. Thanks for sharing this at our party. Pinned and tweeted. I hope to see you on Monday at 7 pm, so we get to party with you again! Lou Lou Girls
