Just a quick little photo guide to prepping your butternut squash….
Start by slicing the monster into three pieces cut the top off and keep the middle and slice the bottom off… get rid of the stem and the bottom core…. then every so carefully sit them up and slice off the dark skin using a sharp knife cutting down towards the cutting board…. the skin is super tough so be cautious with that sharp knife and your fingers:)
Then cube up the flesh into the same size cubes…
Last place it all into a pot of boiling water and cook down until soft….
drain the water and then you can either pureer them in the food procesor, or use a hand mixer, or even just a fork if you like them a little lumpy…
For a touch of extra flavor add a spalsh of maple syrup to it…:)
Enjoy this delicious vitamin filled squash…
