Squash Recipes From Riverford Portsmouth

Published: 21st October 2013 10:40

Riverford Portsmouth gives advice on Squash storage, preparation and recipes 

 Many squash will store through the winter if kept warm and dry. Some people like to store them decoratively on their kitchen shelves.

Preparation

Squash all have tough skins, beneath which is a thick layer of flesh which encompasses a centre core containing large quantities of seeds. Using a large sharp knife slice off the top and bottom of the squash. This provides a secure base to begin paring away the tough outer skin. Pare this away carefully as close to the skin as possible (a good quality vegetable peeler helps). Once peeled, slice in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. You are then left with two halves which can be prepared as needed for the recipe.

Easy ways to use

Different varieties work better in different recipes. Butternut is great for risotto or soup and Kabacha, Red Onion and Crown Prince are particularly good for roasting.

You can chop up other root veg from your box such as carrots, beetroot, parsnips and celeriac and roast with the squash (see over page for recipe).

The seeds and inside trimmings from squash can be used in veg stock, giving a vibrant colour for use in a risotto or soup. Add squash trimmings to other stock ingredients, simmer in enough water to cover for about an hour and strain through a sieve. Keep in the fridge for a week or freeze for future use.

Sumac Roasted Squash Salad with Feta, Mint & Yoghurt Dressing  

 Serves 4 as a side

Sumac is a zesty flavoured powder, made from the dried fruits of a Middle-Eastern shrub. Use a little lemon zest instead if you can't get hold of it.

Ingredients:

  • 1 butternut squash, peeled, deseeded & sliced into finger-length pieces
  • 1 tsp sumac
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 100g salad leaves
  • 50g toasted pistachios
  • 6 mint leaves, shredded
  • for the dressing:
  • 150ml plain yoghurt
  • 100g feta, crumbled
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds

Toss the squash in a baking dish with the sumac and olive oil and season. Roast at 180°C for about 25-30 mins until just tender. Make the dressing:

Toast the cumin in a dry frying pan for 1 min and grind to a powder, then mix into the yoghurt and feta. Toss the salad leaves in a little olive oil to coat and spread over a serving platter. Scatter the squash on top. Drizzle over the yoghurt dressing and sprinkle over the pistachios and mint to serve.

Squash Risotto (serves 4)

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium squash (about 500g), peeled, deseeded & cut into 1cm cubes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 ltr veg stock
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 360g risotto rice
  • a splash of white wine or vermouth
  • 2 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus extra to serve
  • 2-3 tbsp butter to serve

Sweat the squash cubes in olive oil in a large covered saucepan until tender (about half an hour). Season. Heat up the stock to simmering point in a pan. In a separate large, heavy-based pan, heat the oil, then add the onion and garlic, and cook gently for about 5 mins, until softened. Add the rice, stir until well coated and cook gently for a few mins more. Add the wine or vermouth and cook until absorbed by the rice. 

Now add the squash and stir gently for 2 mins. Add just enough of the simmering stock to cover the rice and stir well. Keep gradually adding stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring constantly. It's important to keep the rice at a gentle simmer and allow each addition of stock to be absorbed before adding more. After about 15-18 mins, when the rice is tender but still has a little bite, remove from the heat. The risotto should be a bit sloppy.

Finally mix in the butter and the cheese and serve with more parmesan at the table.

Thai-style chicken & squash curry (serves 4)

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp oil for frying
  • 450g skinless diced chicken
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic & crushed
  • 3 tbsp red thai curry paste
  • 800g squash, peeled weight, cut into large chunks
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 150ml veg or chicken stock
  • 4 kaffir lime leaves, if you can get them
  • 2 stalks lemongrass, left whole & bashed with a rolling pin to release the aroma
  • handful of fresh coriander leaves, to serve

Heat the oil in a large flameproof pan. Add the onion and chicken and fry for a few mins, until the chicken is starting to brown and the onion is softening. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for a couple more mins. Add the curry paste, squash, coconut milk, stock, lime leaves and lemongrass stalks and stir to combine. Increase the heat, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 20-25 mins, until the chicken is cooked through and the squash is tender. Season to taste. Serve sprinkled with the coriander leaves.

Roasted squash (serves 4)
  • 1 squash
  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
  • 1 red chilli, very finely chopped
  • 1 sprig rosemary, very finely chopped
  • olive oil

Cut the squash in half lengthways. Peel and slice across into lengths about 1cm wide. Place the sliced onions on a shallow baking tray, lay the squash slices on the onions and sprinkle with olive oil. Bake in a medium hot oven (about 200°C) for about 30 mins or until the squash is just cooked. Sprinkle the garlic, chilli and rosemary over the squash and return to the oven for another 10 mins, until the garlic and chilli are cooked but not brown.

With the weather taking a turn for the worse, soup is always a popular choice. And why not try your hand at squash soup, a tasty meal that is well worth the effort.

Squash Soup

3 points weightwatchers

ProPoints value of 11 per recipe 15 minutes to prepare, 1 hour 30 minutes to cook Serves 4

What you need:

1 whole round acorn or onion squash weighing about 1.2 kg (2 lb 12 oz) or 4 baby ones Calorie controlled cooking spray 2 onions, chopped roughly 4 garlic cloves 3 celery sticks, chopped 2 leeks, trimmed and chopped roughly 2 carrots, peeled and chopped roughly 1.5 litres (2 ¾ pints) of vegetable stock made with 3 cubes 4 tbsp pumpkin seeds 4 tbsp low fat natural yogurt

What to do:

  1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 6/ 200⁰C/ fan oven 180⁰C. Trim the base from the squash so it will stand up on a baking tray. Cut off the top to form a lid, scoop out the seeds with a spoon (making sure you don't remove too much of the flesh) and discard. Mist the inside with cooking spray and season. Replace the lid and wrap the squash in foil. Put in the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes until the flesh is tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. If you're using baby ones, check them after 40 minutes. Allow to cool a little.
  2. Mist a large saucepan with the cooking spray and sauté the onions and garlic for 2-3 minutes. Add the celery, leek and carrot and cook for a further 2-3 minutes until starting to soften. Add the stock and some seasoning, cover and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Scoop out the cooked flesh from the squash and retain the shell. Add the flesh to the soup and cook for a further 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and puree with a stick blender or in a food processor until smooth.
  4. Toast the pumpkin seeds by dry frying them in a non-stick pan for a few minutes, stirring regularly until golden brown. Remove from the pan and allow to cool. Serve the soup in the individual squash shells, topped with the yogurt and seeds. If you have one large squash, you can use it as a tureen and serve the soup in bowls.

King Prawn Tempura PostWhat we all need on a Monday morning, this yummy recipe for King Prawn and Spring Onion Tempura is both quick to make and incredibly satisfying. 

Serves 4

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

What You'll Need:

  • For the dipping sauce:
  • 4 tbsp tamari (Japanese soy sauce)
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2-3 tsp freshly grated wasabi to taste
  • 3 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • For the tempura:
  • 80g cornflour
  • 80g plain flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 200ml ice cold beer (or soda water)
  • 200g raw king prawns, shell removed or
  • 200g tenderstem stems sliced in half
  • lengthways
  • 1 bunch spring onions trimmed
  • 2 tbsp cornflour

What To Do:

  • Make the dipping sauce by mixing all the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Preheat a deep fat fryer to 180°C, or half fill a stockpot with a litre or so of vegetable and heat until when you drop in a cube of bread it turns golden in 30 seconds.
  • When the oil is hot, mix the batter by sifting both flours into a large bowl. Add the salt. Pour in  the beer and whisk lightly until just combined – don't worry about a few lumps its important not to over-mix and also to use the batter immediately on mixing.
  • Dust the prawns (or tenderstem) and spring onions all over in the extra cornflour, then dip into the batter to coat all over. Using tongs lower gently into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes until crisp then drain on kitchen paper. Work quickly, cooking in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan.
  • Eat as soon after cooking as possible, served with the dipping sauce.
