Inspired by a dish from the Dominican Republic, this dish combines plantains, butternut squash, and garlic. By roasting the vegetables together before combining them with a bit of stock, you concentrate the natural sugars and bring out the best flavors. For a little something extra special, try taking it up a level with your favorite spice mix or making up a batch of Dominican sofrito to stir in.
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash
- 1 large plantain
- 4 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- ¼ cup vegetable stock
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Halve the squash and scoop out the seeds and fibers. Peel the halves and cut into 1″ pieces.
- Trim the ends of the plantain. Cut a slit lengthwise through the inner curve of the skin, pry off the skin, and cut the plantain crosswise into 1″ segments.
- Place the squash, plantain, and garlic cloves on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast until fork tender (30-40 minutes). Let cool slightly and peel the garlic cloves.
- In a saucepan, heat the vegetable stock over high heat until simmering. Remove from the heat and add the garlic, squash, plantain, and olive oil. Mash until almost smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
