Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash (1 ½ pounds)
  • 2 medium shallots
  • ¹⁄3 cup shelled natural pistachios
  • 3 large Sunsweet Amaz!n™ Prunes
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 large mint leaves
  • 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Kosher salt
  • Cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. Peel the butternut squash and cut it into pieces that will fit into the feeding tube of a food processor. Fit the processor with the shredding disc and shred the squash (about 3 ½ cups). Finely chop the shallots (about ¹⁄3 cups); coarsely chop the pistachios (about ¹⁄3 cup): and coarsely chop the prunes (about ¼ cup).

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the shallots and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Add the butternut squash, turn up the heat to medium high, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until the squash is tender. The mixture will become soft, like a purée. Shred the mint (about 2 teaspoons). Stir in the pistachios, prunes, mint, and lemon juice. Add salt and cayenne to taste.
