For this recipe, you will have:
-
Butternut squash, peeled and sliced thick
-
Further virgin olive oil
-
Salt
-
Contemporary mint
-
Chopped garlic
-
Purple or white wine vinegar
-
Brown sugar
Fill a big skillet with about 1/2-inch of olive oil and convey as much as medium/excessive warmth. Working in batches, if vital, fry the squash slices on each side till flippantly browned and tender. Take away to a rimmed plate or shallow casserole dish and organize flat (you will need to have the ability to evenly soak them in a marinade). Repeat till the entire squash is fried. Do not throw the oil away!
Sprinkle the cooked slices with salt, torn mint and chopped garlic to style. Drizzle them with spoonfuls of olive oil from the frying pan.
Subsequent, make a dressing by mixing vinegar and brown sugar. Accomplish that to style, including simply sufficient sugar to show the vinegar from bitter to candy and tart. Pour sufficient of the dressing evenly over the squash to saturate and soak the slices.
Cowl and let the squash marinate for not less than 3-4 hours, or ideally in a single day within the fridge earlier than serving. Buon appetito!
