Roasted Winter Squash With Seared Cod Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Peel the squash with a vegetable peeler. Halve lengthwise, discard the seeds, then cut into 1-inch dice. Place in a large bowl.
• Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter ceases to foam and has turned a light brown, pull the pan off the heat and immediately add the sage, rosemary, sugar, vinegar (stand back so as not to get splattered), and molasses. Mix well and bring up to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer over medium-low heat for 1 to 2 minutes to meld the flavors. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Pour the vinegar mixture over the squash and toss well, then transfer to a heavy rimmed baking sheet or baking dish large enough to hold the squash in a single layer. Place in the oven and roast, tossing at least once, until very tender and caramelized, about 1 hour. Set aside until cool enough to handle but still warm, so the liquids are runny.
• Working in batches, if necessary, transfer the warm squash and all the cooking liquids to a food processor and process until smooth. Use immediately, or refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a small bowl, mix together bread crumbs, Parmesan, rosemary, and 1 tablespoon of oil; set aside.
• In a large ovenproof skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat.
• Add onion and garlic and saute until onion is tender about 5-6 minutes.
• Stir in bell pepper, yellow squash, salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, five minutes or until pepper is crisp-tender.
• Stir in tomatoes.
• Bring to a boil and cook until lightly thickened (5 minutes).
• Place cod on top of vegetables and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• Top with bread crumb mixture.
• Bake, uncovered, 20 minutes or until cod is cooked through and bread crumbs are lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Trim the ends from the squash, and cut each squash in half lengthwise. Cut the halves in half again crosswise, to make 4 pieces; cut those pieces in half twice more the long way, to make 16 short spears from each squash. Toss the squash with olive oil and garlic in a bowl; place into a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
• Roast the squash until the spears and garlic start to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Check the squash after 5 minutes, and add time in 2- to 3-minute intervals to avoid burning.
