Acorn Squash With Ginger
Acorn squash isn’t my favourite vegetable, but we’ve got a few in the garden this year, and it looks like they’re almost ready to eat. The Chef likes them, so maybe he’ll try this recipe — it looks pretty good, as far as acorn squash recipes go. 
The recipe is from the Canadian cookbook, Quickies: Ten Quick Ways with Everyday Foods. The instructions don’t say to pierce the squash, but I usually poke it with a fork once or twice before microwaving.
Acorn Squash With Ginger
- 1 small acorn squash
- 3 tsp butter
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 3 thin slices fresh ginger
- Microwave the acorn squash on high, for 3 minutes.
- Peel the squash, and thinly slice it, discarding the seeds.
- Cut the squash into bite sized pieces, and sauté in butter, with garlic and ginger.
- Sprinkle with pinches of salt and pepper.
Serves 2.
