Butternut Squash Hash Browns Recipes

WINTER SQUASH AND APPLE HASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Peel, seed, and chop the squash. Distribute evenly on a baking pan and drizzle lightly with oil. Bake until soft to the touch, about 20 minutes. Remove and cool.
• Cook the Rosemary Sausage in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat, stirring often, until browned. Add the apples, onions and peppers. Cook, stirring regularly, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the squash. Saute until the squash is lightly browned, 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Cook eggs separately as desired.
• Plate the squash hash, drizzle with Cranberry-Ginger Chutney and top with eggs!
• Mix the pork with the fennel, garlic, sage, salt, pepper and rosemary well by hand.
• In a medium pot, boil the cranberries and 1 cup water until the berries start to pop, 5 to 7 minutes. Simmer on medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Add the sugar, garlic, ginger, lemon zest and salt, and simmer for another 20 minutes.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine butternut squash, flour, garlic, eggs, thyme, sage and nutmeg; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Scoop tablespoons of batter for each fritter, flattening with a spatula, and cook until the underside is nicely golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, about 1-2 minutes longer. Serve immediately.

MUSHROOM BUTTERNUT SQUASH HASH

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat until it slips easily across the bottom. Add onion and salt; cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add leek. Reduce heat to low and add 1 tablespoon stock if onion or leek start to stick.
• Stir in mushrooms. Cook until starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add squash, potatoes, and 1/2 cup stock. Add 1 teaspoon sage and 1 teaspoon thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep the moisture in; simmer on low, adding more stock if needed, until squash is soft, 20 to 30 minutes. Add remaining sage and thyme halfway through the cooking time.

BUTTERNUT HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Spread the shredded squash out between 2 layers of paper towels. Press down to absorb as much of the moisture from the squash as possible. Repeat if necessary, until no more water can be removed.
• Toss squash shreds with onion, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper.
• Bring a small to medium pan sprayed generously with nonstick spray (a 1 to 2 second spray) to high heat.
• Add mixture to the pan and cook for 3 minutes.
• Flip shreds with a spatula and cook for another 3 minutes or so (until cooked and browned).
• Season to taste with more salt and pepper.
• Optional toppings: Ketchup, salsa, etc.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Peel the squash. Deseed with a spoon. Grate with a cheese grater. Optional. You can leech some of the moisture of the squash. Salt the grated squash and mix. Let sit for a few minutes then squeeze out the excess moisture with hands. I didn't try this for this particular recipe, it wasn't necessary, but I do it with potato hash browns sometimes. Scramble the egg. Mix the egg with the squash. Season with pepper. Heat the vegetable oil to med-high in a shallow frying pan. Form the mix into palm-sized patties. Fry until golden brown on each side. Optional. Dust hash browns with a little brown sugar. I haven't tried this yet, but next time I'm gonna top the patties with caramelized onions.
