QUICK, WHICH HERBS GO WITH SQUASH?

[TooTickyTheAppleBobber]

ACORN SQUASH IF IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE...

ACORN SQUASH????? Are you a squirrel?!

The only herbs that spring to mind would be Basil (quite sweet & aromatic) or what about Lavender?

Why are you asking?

Have chucked in some basil. Thanks. I'm cooking a sort of risotto thingummy - I find it makes my tail nice and bushy

I am so thick. I thought you meant squash as in concentrated drink! I've heard of butternut squash but never acorn squash! I had a recipe for pumpkin soup that was very nice that included chucking in half a dozen cardamoms.
I still think Basil will be good, though.

Rosemary with squash its yummy

oh ffs, rosemary of course

jaysus

or curry powder if feeling adventurous

and lemon, of course

THYME

sage and or nutmeg

nutmeg (& butter)

Ha ha - well you lot might be cleverer than me but she put BASIL in 'cos I suggested it - so ner ner ner ner ner!

tHANKS TO EVERYBODY . gOOD THING i HAVE A BOX OF SQUASHES - i CAN TRY OUT ALL YOUR SUGGESTIONS
(Thanks to dd2 for imaginative help with typing)

Fortyplus, it smells delicious, but I can't help wondering what it would have been like if I'd had lavender in the cupboard

lavender would be interesting. i put lavender in lots of things.

sprinkle brown sugar/maple syrup over the top for a caramelly taste

chilli

Wonder if dark chocolate would work?

You do know you can make pumpkin pie using squash?

oh then there's franny's pumpkin ice cream of course...

Pumpkin ice cream? Please tell me more. You can make it dairy-free, I suppose?

ok let me find the thread...

(my MIL is just having a go at the world generally and me in particular, it may take me some time as I am a bit distracted)

actually...I dunno if there is a recipe as such

you could always make it as a sorbet, I suppose

grab franny and ask her

I'm still smiling at the thought of 'acorn squash' that well known drink for squirrels!

Yes - probably would've been a bit weird with lavender in risotto! But if you put dried lavender flowers in caster sugar and leave it till the smell & taste spreads through it makes a simply divine addition to sprinkle on mince pies.

I've had honey & lavender ice cream, too - sounds very strange but was manna from heaven!

a woody herb like rosemary or thyme or fennel seeds

SAGE is lovely with squash, especially in a risotto...yum!

I would say sage as well. Have used it before and very good.
