Butternut Squash With Taragon


1 Butternut squash (about 2 pounds)

2 Tablespoon organic butter

2 Tablespoon minced fresh tarragon or 2 t. dried tarragon

Salt and pepper

Place the squash cut-side-down on a safe plate or glass dish with a little water in the bottom.  Bake until tender (400 degrees for one hour)  Check the squash. If it isn’t soft enough, bake a little longer. Scrape the seeds out of the squash and discard, then scrape all flesh into a serving bowl.

Stir in the butter and tarragon and let sit at least 5 minutes for the flavors to come out.  Season with salt and pepper and serve.

    • 1/4 cup organic honey
    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (organic, gluten free)
    • 3 organic garlic cloves finely chopped
    • 1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
    • 12 organic chicken drumsticks (I prefer chicken breasts)
    • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Mix the hoisin sauce honey soy sauce garlic and ginger in a large bowl to blend. Set the marinade aside. Using a sharp knife score the chicken all over. Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour but preferably overnight.

Position your oven rack 8 to 10 inches from the heating source and preheat the broiler. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with heavy-duty foil. Transfer the chicken and marinade to the baking sheet and broil for 15 minutes turning often and watching closely or until the chicken is cooked through and the marinade glazes the chicken.

Transfer the chicken to plates. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve.
