    I wanted to share this recipe that I cooked today:) Today, I ate stewed butternut squash, onions, jalapeno peppers, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, on white rice (but it would be good with any grain, especially oat groats I think.) It was probably the most delicious thing I have EVER had! Sort of like a spicy-sweet pumpkin risotto, but with jasmine rice. You simply have to make it. Here's the quick recipe -
    a pound of butternut squash more or less
    a pound of onions more or less
    jalapeno peppers to taste
    cinnamon
    allspice
    clove
    nutmeg
    water or broth necessary for sautéing - about 1/2 cup
    cooked grain of any sort (my serving suggestion, optional)
    I chopped the onions and tossed them into a saucepan. The butternut squash was chopped in 1 inch pieces with the skin intact. Jalapeños chopped too. The onions and peppers were at the bottom, topped with the butternut squash, since the squash would be more likely to stick. I simmered it dry until the onions started browning, then added 1/2 water and simmered it covered until tender about 15 minutes; I increased the heat to drive off any excess water, stirring if needed. Then I added the spices to taste, from most to least in this order: cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, clove. Then I allowed the pan to sit covered for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle. I mashed it coarsely with a wooden spoon, and served it with cooked jasmine rice.
    I don't make true 10/10 recipes often, but this one was a REAL 10/10 even without the salt oil sugar. And I'll be sure to print this comment out, so I can make it again and again!!!
    I also assume this would be good with any squash or pumpkin, but I haven't put that to the test yet;) I also think red bell peppers would go devastatingly well, as would fresh tomatoes or eggplant, maybe corn too;)
