Oh man oh man, this raw butternut squash recipe is so easy and so good! And if you’re lucky enough to live near a store that sells prepackaged cubed organic butternut squash, you have it made! We discovered it at Whole Foods. But you can of course use a whole butternut squash and cube it up.
Pureed Raw Butternut Squash with Agave, Allspice and Cayenne
16 ounces cubed butternut squash
Salt
Pepper
Agave nectar
Ground allspice
Ground cayenne (red pepper)
1/4 cup water
Put the cubed raw butternut squash in the food processor with the “s” blade (the chopping blade that looks like an “s”). Add about 1/4 cup of water (ideally use filtered water).
Process (if your food processor has speeds, use high speed) the squash and water until completely pureed and smooth. It will take a few minutes and you will need to stop the processor a few times and scrape the sides.
When the squash is completely pureed and smooth, add salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the squash into serving bowls. Drizzle just a small drizzle of agave nectar in a swirl in the center of the bowl on top of the squash puree. On top, sprinkle just a dash of ground allspice, and on top of that just a dash of cayenne (red) pepper.
This is so delicious!
Serves 2.
