Savory butternut squash pancake...165 calories each!

(Along the same lines as the banana & egg pancake, only using butternut squash instead of banana)

1 cup cooked (mine was oven roasted previously) butternut squash
1 large egg
2 teaspoons grated parmesan cheese, separated into 1 teaspoon each
pinch rosemary, thyme, garlic powder to taste

Spray a flat skillet with cooking oil spray. Heat pan while mashing squash. Add parmesan cheese and spices. Whisk in 1 egg until smooth. Pour and spread squash batter evenly into pan. If thick, may have to spread it out with back of a large spoon. Lower heat to low/medium low. Cook slowly until top is no longer wet and shiny looking. Make sure the heat is not to high so that the bottom doesn't burn while cooking. Cut pancake into quarters with knife of side of a spatula to make for easier flipping. These are kind of delicate, so they do not hold together well when trying to flip a whole one. Turn each quarter over gently to allow other side to brown slightly. Turn off heat. Ease quatrters onto a plate. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan cheese.

I topped each quarter with a teaspoon or so of plain greek yogurt and fresh chopped chives, but did not include these in the calorie count.

boil or bake squash. mash with fork season with salt pepper sage sautéed finely chopped onion and a glove of garlic. mix together in a bowl. Place a dollop in the middle of an egg roll wrapper. Fold over and seal edges with a little water. Drop into boiling water and boil for a few minutes until they float. These are great with a nice tomato sauce.

I made a butternut squash soup the other day, it was really good.

You cook an onion and some garlic for a few mins

Add chopped up butternut squash, 2 parsnips, 4 medium carrots

Crumble a chicken stock cube on top and add a litre of water

Leave to cook!

I guess you could add other veg if you want, or lentils.

This is the proper recipe: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=2335429

Butternut Squash Soup

2 Tbsp. Butter
1 small onion
1 stalk celery
1 medium carrot
2 medium red potatoes
1 med squash - peeled, seeded & cubed
1 32 oz. carton organic veggie stock

Melt butter in large pot. Cook onion, celery, carrot, potatoes and squash 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Pour in enough stock to cover, about 3 cups. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 40 minutes. Put in food processor or use immersion blender and process until smooth. Return to pot and mix in additional stock, if necessary, to attain desired consistency.

Excellent!

I just made yesterday butter nut, sweet peppers and apple soup. Instead of potatoes I used chopped sweet peppers and one apple (I don't even peeled), and low sodium vegetable broth (not Swanson). I also used the immersion blender and pureed until smooth and I seasoned it with ginger, pepper and sage and a touch of salt. You can serve it hot with a spoon full of fat free plain Greek yogurt for added protein. Delicious and low calorie.

Note: I buy in Costco the cubed butternut squash and I use the whole package (32 oz). The soup freezes well.

I made this chickpea and butternut squash salad this week and it was a hit with other members of my family. http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2009/01/warm-butternut-squash-and-chickpea-salad/ Under 400 cal/serving and I think one could use less oil both in roasting the squash and in the dressing!

Am planning to make a variation on this squash filled variation on mac and cheese this week !

- Wash and cut a medium squash in half, lengthwise
- Roast until soft, fork tender
- While roasting saute onions, garlic, mushrooms, spinach with olive oil, S&P,sage
- When squash is done fill the holes with the garlic/onion mixture and add a tiny pat of light Becel margerine and return to oven for 15 minutes.

Microwave butternut squash risotto - super easy !

serves 4

250g risotto rice
700ml hot vegetable stock
1 medium butternut squash
big handful grated parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), plus extra
handful sage leaves, roughly chopped

Tip the rice into a large bowl, then add 500ml of the hot vegetable stock. Cover with cling film and microwave on High for 5 mins. Meanwhile, peel and cut the squash into medium chunks . Stir the rice, then add the squash and the rest of the stock. Re-cover with cling film, then microwave for another 15 mins, stirring halfway, until almost all the stock is absorbed and the rice and squash are tender.
Leave the risotto to sit for 2 mins, then stir in the parmesan and sage. Serve topped with more grated cheese.
