3. Beef and Squash Fried Rice
To get the desired bright orange colour for this risotto, first soften the squash, then add the rice and stir frequently, pouring in one ladle of chicken broth at a time. The rice will then absorb all the gorgeous colour of the butternut squash. As a garnish, add some Tuscan kale, a close cousin of kale.
4. Squash Risotto with Tuscan Kale
Pour que ce risotto prenne une couleur orange éclatante, on attendrit d’abord la courge, puis on ajoute le riz qu’on brasse longtemps en versant le bouillon de poulet, une louche à la fois. Le riz prend alors toute la couleur de la Butternut. On met du chou toscan en garniture, un proche parent du chou kale.

5. Vegan Roasted Butternut Squash Quesadillas
These slightly sweet-tasting quesadillas will charm the whole family. Roast the squash in the oven with some bell pepper and onion, then divide it between tortillas, adding thin slices of chili for those who would like a little more heat. Eat them while they’re still hot so that the dairy-free, vegan cheese stretches.
6. Squash Gratin with Parmesan Crumble
This gratin will make a good impression as a delicious centrepiece at the table, with its thin slices of squash alternating with apple, Parmesan, garlic and cream. On the top, the Parmesan crumble, which also includes flour, almonds and butter, makes a crunchy crust that adds to the tasting pleasure.

8. Chicken with Squash and Garlic Flower
We love dishes like this one that can be cooked in a single skillet. In this case, simply brown some chicken thighs, then add diced squash, broth and cider. The final—green—touch comes in the form of garlic flower and peas.
