One portion of this dish contains around 3g of protein, 12g of fat, and a total of 210 calories. For $1.13 per serving, you get a hor d'oeuvre that serves 8. Head to the store and pick up salt, thyme, onions, and a few other things to make it today. Autumn will be even more special with this recipe.
Instructions
Cut squash into eight large pieces.
Place cut side up in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan.
Cut 1/4 in. off tops of onion and garlic bulbs (the end that comes to a closed point).
Place cut side up in baking pans.
Brush with oil; sprinkle with thyme. Cover tightly and bake 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until vegetables are very tender. Uncover and let stand until lukewarm.
Remove peel from squash and onions; remove soft garlic from skins. In a large bowl, combine vegetables, broth and cream. Puree in small batches in a blender until smooth; transfer to a large saucepan.
Add parsley, salt and pepper; heat through (do not boil).
Garnish with thyme if desired.
Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose
Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Antipasti. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The Laurent-Perrier La Cuvee Brut (3 Liter Bottle - Jeroboam) with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 400 dollars per bottle.
Laurent-Perrier La Cuvee Brut (3 Liter Bottle - Jeroboam)
The wine comes from the purest grape juice and it alone allows Laurent-Perrier to craft 'La Cuvée', a champagne of great finesse and a beautiful freshness obtained after a long ageing process in our cellars.Pale gold in color. Fine bubbles feed a persistent mousse. A delicate nose with hints of fresh citrus and white flowers. The wine’s complexity is expressed in successive notes like vine peach and white fruits notes. A perfect balance between freshness and delicacy with fruity flavors very present on the finish.This fresh and pure wine is perfect for an apéritif. Its citrus and white fruits notes and its remarkable balance supported by a subtle effervescence, make it an ideal accompaniment to poultry and the finest fish.
