Making the "stuffing" for my layered lasagna (not bird) 😀
The butternut squash is scooped, mashed and flavored with nutmeg and smoked paprika.
The leeks are sauteed in olive oil, and seasoned with salt and pepper.
@madamscientist Mmm. Smoked paprika and nutmeg... Count me in on the squash.
@shuttersparks they are made to match, right?
@madamscientist Yes, they are! Nutmeg especially is almost magical in its effect on various foods.
@madamscientist Hah! I was going to mention cardamom but didn't. That's another magical spice that's impossible to describe. I'm still learning how to use it.
@shuttersparks What do you use nutmeg for, I need to expand my repertoire!
@madamscientist Nutmeg is really good on cooked green leafy vegetables that have a strong or bitter flavor like spinach, mustard greens, collard greens. It's excellent in sauces like onion Bechamel.
@shuttersparks all good ideas 👍🏽
@shuttersparks Nutmeg and cardamom are my most favorite spices. I don't use them as often as the other workhorses on my shelf, but that makes them even more special.
