Sauce
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 ½ cup of onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 2 cups of small white mushrooms
- 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of cornstarch
- 1 cup of vegetable broth (or water)
Puree
- 1/2 cup of cream
- 1 can (540 ml) of white beans
- 1/2 cup of smoky Gouda cheese, grated
- Salt & pepper, as preferred
Salad
- 2 cups of Brussel sprouts, grated or pulled apart
- 1 shallot, minced
- 2 tablespoons of sour cream
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of honey (or maple syrup)
- 2 tablespoons of crushed pecans (optional)

Steps
- Squash: Preheat the oven to 375°F and place the rack at the centre of it. Lay out the squash pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Mix all the remaining squash ingredients in a bowl then lay out onto the squash. Cook for 30 to 35 minutes.
- Sauce: Heat the oil over medium heat in a pot, then brown the onion and garlic for 10 minutes or until the onion is golden.
- Add the mushrooms and continue cooking for 10 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and keep cooking for 5 more minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce by half.
- Dilute the cornstarch in a bit of broth, then pour into the broth in a pot. Bring to a boil then cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes allowing the mix to thicken. Season.
- Puree: Heat the cream over medium heat in a pot. Pour into a large bowl with the remaining puree ingredients then puree with a handheld mixer.
- Salad: Combine all the salad ingredients in a bowl.
- Serve: Add the puree to a plate, dig a small hole into it to pour the sauce into. Add the sauce into the puree, top with a piece of roasted squash & salad.
