Calories 292kcal
Ingredients
- 1 delicata squash
- ¼ red onion
- ¼ cup crumbled feta
- 1 teaspoon grainy mustard
- ½ teaspoon honey
- 6 teaspoon olive oil
- 3 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 2 TBs dukkah spice mix
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh cilantro chopped finely (optional)
Dukkah spice mix:
- 4 TBs sesame seeds
- 3 TBs coriander seeds
- 2 TBs cumin seeds
- 1 TB black peppercorns
- ½ cup roasted peanuts
- 1 teaspoon dry green mint or 1 TB fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- To preapre dukkah, Preheat a pan to medium heat. Roast sesame seeds for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Set aside.
- Roast coriander & cumin seeds and peppercorns until fragrant. Set aside and let cool.
- Once cooled, combine the seeds with the rest of the dukkah ingredients, and mill in a spice grinder or or pulse in a food processor until a coarse mixture develops (take care not to overprocess, or you'll be left with a paste). Pack in a well-sealed jar; dukkah will keep for weeks.
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Slice onions into crescent moon shapes. Soak in a bowl with cold water for at least 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Slice squash into crescent moons. Arrange squash on baking sheet, topped with 2 teaspoons of oil, salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes.
- To prepare dressing, in a jar combine mustard, honey, olive oil, white wine vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Close jar and shake well to emulsify.
- Arrange squash on a large serving platter. Top with onions, feta and dressing. Sprinkle dukkah mixture and minced fresh cilantro on top.
