Butternut squash and spinach salad.







































The following day I had loads of ingredients left over and just by coincidence I found this delicious recipe on the Catalan television website (only for Catalan speakers): http://www.tv3.cat/cuines/receptes/recepta_3931.htm

It was absolutely delicious! You serve the fresh spinach with caramelised butternut squash dice, butternut squash crispy chips (!), feta cheese (original recipe is with mozzarella, but feta worked very nicely), macadamia nuts, and dressing done with seedy mustard and olive oil. Wow! Super nice contrast of flavours!

For the caramelised b.s. you fry the b.s until golden, sprinkle some sugar on it and then add modena vinegar and let it cook for a while. For the b.n. chips it's very important to slice them very finely and fry them on very low heat so they don't go black. Sprinkle them on top of the salad for that crunchy texture. Mmmmm!
