We went to the farmers market on Sunday. I’m obsessed with farmers markets and I drag Greg whenever I feel I can convince him to go. Most of the time I just browse around and dream about all the thinks I want to make but this time I was looking for something seasonal that would be easy to cook and very pretty. I found my inspiration here.
To be honest, the first time I tasted delicata squash was very recently but I really liked the flavor and and the fact that it looks really pretty is also an added bonus. I also like that when you cook it, you can eat the skin. For someone like me who is always looking for shortcuts to save time, this is perfect. On the way back from the farmers market, we stopped at a Korean Supermarket, which by the way has the best selection of mushrooms at a really good price. I decided to mix the two and it came out really awesome. It also looks really impressive!
I had a lot of fun setting up that picture. I got to work chopping, sauteing and was really happy with how it all came together. The best part of all is that you use just one pan. Less cleanup!
