Warm salad with pumpkin, rosemary and tangerines topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1/4 tbsp. + 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 1 butternut squash (900 g), peeled and cut into 2.5 cm cubes (about 5 cups)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 4 tangerines
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, coarsely chopped
- 170g mixed salad greens or spinach, washed and dried
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Preparation:
- In a large heavy-bottomed skillet, heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the squash. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until lightly browned and tender, 8–10 minutes. Add the vegetable broth. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until tender, 15–20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set the squash aside to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, prepare the mandarins and vinaigrette. Peel 3 mandarins and slice them into 2-cm-thick rounds, removing all the seeds. Place the sliced mandarins in a bowl. To prepare the vinaigrette, juice the remaining mandarin orange into a small bowl. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the rosemary. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the salad greens in a large serving bowl. Toss the salad with the dressing. Top with the warm pumpkin. Add the sliced tangerines and sprinkle with dried cranberries. Serve warm.
