I think they must sense fall is coming and cooler weather is on its way. Summer seemed to fly by so fast this year, but I am already looking forward favorite way to prepare Deli- cata is to cut them in half, scoop out the seeds, cut them into crescent shapes and toss with olive oil, maple syrup, and cinnamon. Then I roast them at 400 degrees for 15 minutes and serve them as a side dish. My kids love them to fall and all the wonderful By ANDREA and gobble them down. things to prepare with the MILLER Another recipe to try best fruit of the fall season — ‘ with Delicata is to stuff Winter squash. The winter squash, or pumpkin, is a member of the Cucurbita maxima. species. The plant is native to South America and seeds found in Peru have been dated to 1200 B.C.. The pump- kin, or winter squash, is now grown worldwide and prepared in many different ways in many cultures. The name “pumpkin” is thought to have come from the old French word “pom- pon,” which itself came fromthe an- cient Greek word “pepon.” Cultivars of winter squash include " acorn, banana, buttercup, Kabocha, hubbard and Delicata. In France, the pumpkin is used almost exclusively to-make soup. In Argentina, large pumpkins are hollowed out and a meat stew is cooked inside the gourd. In the U.S., the most popular use is in pies at Thanksgiving or as a roasted or mashed side dish. The first ofthe winter squash to be found this time of year is the variety called Delicata. They are unusual in that they are somewhat of a bridge between the summer squash like zuc— chini and the riper winter squash like a butternut. The Delicata squash has a tender skin that can be eaten and has a flesh that is more like a sweet potato than other winter squash. My them with your favorite ingredients and roast them in the oven. Start by cutting the squash in half lengthwise and scooping out the Seeds. Then brush the flesh with olive oil and place face down on a roast- ing pan. Roast the squash face down at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. While the squash is roasting you can prepare your filling. I like to have a miiture of ground meat, leafy greens, onions and seasoning but there are many other yummy items you can add to your filling from capers, to nuts, to dried fruits. See what you like the best. Once the squash is done roasting and the filling is prepared, turn the squash over and fill with the stuffing, top with your favorite cheese and re— turn to the oven to finish roasting just enough to melt the cheese. Serve hot and enjoy. You can find Delicata and other varieties ol‘winter squash. at markets this month. Talk to’ the farmers and ask them about their favorites and, ' how they like to prepare them. See you at the market. I Andrea Miller is on the Board of the Shelton Farmers Market. She can be reached at farmer@ SkokomishValleyFarnzs.c0m.
