Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft and just starting to brown, 5 - 6 minutes.

Step 2

Add squash, carrots, orange juice and 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until vegetables are tender and liquid is reduced to a glaze, about 25 minutes.

Step 3

Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup to taste and orange zest. Let cool slightly.

Step 4

Using a food processor, puree vegetables in batches.

Step 5

Return to pot and heat through, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Step 6

If the squash is not sweet enough to your liking, you may adjust it with a bit of brown sugar.

Love, love, love this! I purposely kept the maple syrup to a minimum, so it wouldn't be too sweet, and it's absolutely delicious! The caramelized onions give this such a smooth and silky finish. In a way, it almost tastes like there's a bit of celery in the mix, even though there isn't. So good - and an easy way to change up the usual steamed carrots or roasted butternut. We had this with a steak and small salad - perfect. This would also be great for a holiday meal, as I'm sure it would be great paired with roast turkey or prime rib or ham. Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe! Ten stars, if I could...
