Roasted Squash with Radicchio and Miso
A delicious autumnal main course when squash and radicchio are in season. Serves 4.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup wholegrain spelt
- Salt
- 3 honeynut squash or 1 acorn squash halved, seeds removed, cut into thick wedges
- 5 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1/3 cup pine nuts or any nuts of your choice
- 1 garlic clove chopped
- 1 tablespoon white miso
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives plus more for serving
- 2 small heads of Treviso radicchio outer leaves removed and halved, cores
- quartered
- 1 Granny Smith or other tart apple very thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Cook spelt in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, 25–35 minutes. Drain.
- Meanwhile, toss squash with 1 Tbsp. oil in a baking tray; season with salt and pepper (could add a bit of chilli flakes). Turn squash cut side down and roast until browned and tender, 20–30 minutes.
- Bring pine nuts and remaining 4 Tbsp. oil to a very gentle simmer in a small saucepan over medium, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and cook at a very low simmer until nuts are light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in garlic and miso. Let cool (it will look a bit chunky and broken at this point). Add vinegar and 1 Tbsp. chives and whisk until dressing is smooth and emulsified; season with salt.
- Toss spelt with a generous tablespoonful of dressing on a large platter.
- Top with the squash. Place radicchio and apple on top and drizzle remaining dressing over and top with chives.
