Butternut Squash Shooters

Course: Appetizers

ingredients

  • 2 small butternut squash (about 4 pounds total)

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 6 cups chicken stock

  • Pinch of nutmeg

  • FOR BREADSTICKS:
  • 1 package puff pastry

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1⁄2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • Sea salt to taste

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut squash in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and divide 1 tablespoon butter, cubed, among the cavities. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place flesh side up in a roasting pan and cook until tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
  • Heat stock in a saucepan over medium heat. When squash is slightly cooled, peel. Place one quarter of the roasted squash in a blender and add a quarter of the stock. Puree 20 seconds or until very smooth. Add 1 tablespoon butter and blend. Pour the mixture into a large container and repeat process with the remaining squash three more times until all of the squash is pureed. Taste and adjust seasoning; add a pinch of nutmeg. Serve immediately or chill, stored in an airtight container.
  • To serve, pour hot soup into demitasse cups, shot glasses or egg cups with a breadstick placed across the top.
  • To make breadsticks, preheat oven to 375°F. Cut puff pastry into small strips about 1⁄2 inch wide. Arranged on a baking sheet. Brush with oil and sprinkle with Parmesan and sea salt. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown.”
