Joyce's Notes:   Butternut squash is bitter, so I added apple chunks.  I like the texture contrast between the soft squash and firm apple.    

 

Butternut Squash with Apple
2-3 Servings

Ingredients:

12

oz

Butternut Squash, cut into 1" chunks (approx.), weighed after peeling and de-seeding.  

1 large Golden Delicious Apple, peeled and cut into 1/2" chunks.

Directions:

    Place the squash chunks in a 2.5 quart saucepan with water to cover plus about 1/2 inch.
Boil 20 minutes.
    Stir the squash slightly to break up the pieces.
    Add apple, and cook additional 10 minutes without lid.  The apple pieces should remain firm.
    Drain off excess liquid or use a slotted spoon to serve.
  Option: Sprinkle lightly with salt or parmesan cheese.
  Option: Serve with Couscous & Toasted Pinenuts. (Near East brand preferred.)
