Kabocha Squash!

by Susan on June 21, 2012

Going to share here one of my family’s favorite recipes from the Ultimate Reset.  LOVE this recipe and we’ve used it several times since finishing the Reset.  We had it earlier this week and I’m still enjoying the leftovers for lunch.  We’ve actually got two recipes here as one is for the main dish itself and the other is a recipe using the leftovers for lunch the next day.  

Kabocha Squash with Garlic-Tahini Filling

1 kabocha squash, seeds removed
8 Tbsp. sesame tahini
4 tsp miso paste
1 tsp finely chopped garlic
4 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 degress.  Place squash on baking sheet lined with foil.  Mix together tahini, miso, garlic, and oil and pour over squash; bake for 30 minutes or until squash is fork tender.  Serves 4.
(* Note:  I found the first time I prepared this that the squash took longer than 30 minutes to cook and as a result, the filling got a little burned.  The next time I fixed it, I cooked the squash till slightly soft first, then added the filling and cooked the rest of the way.  It was perfect that time!)

A recipe with the leftovers!

Kabocha Squash Coconut Soup

Mix 1 serving Kabocha Squash with 1/2 cup coconut milk; puree in the blender till smooth.  Heat through.  Serves 2.

I had this soup for lunch today!  Delicious!

Enjoy!  In Health,
