Broccoli and Squash Medley

Broccoli and Squash Medley
I've come across a delicious side dish idea for your Thanksgiving table. How yummy would this be on your plate sitting next to that turkey instead of that same old boring green bean casserole.

Broccoli and Squash Medley
Yield: 14 servings

3 C frozen or fresh broccoli cuts
2 C peeled butternut squash, cubed
1/2 C orange juice
1/4 C butter, melted
1/2 C dried cranberries
1/2 C finely chopped pecans, toasted
1 tbsp grated orange peel
1 tsp salt

Cook (boil in water or steam) broccoli until tender. Place squash in skillet, add orange juice and cook over medium-low heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender but firm. Stir in butter, broccoli, cranberries, pecans, orange peel and salt; toss to coat. Serve immediately.


Mealtime Prayer - Almighty God, you open your hand, and we are fed. Be at this table, we pray, and bless our family.
