Winter Panzanella
Nov 22nd, 2009 by Yoko

In the summertime, I like to make panzanella. When I saw that there were recipes for a winter version, I had to try it.
This is a yummy combination of garlic-parmesan croutons, butternut squash, and Brussels sprouts, from Michael Chiarello. The recipe is here. Some changes: It took me twice as long to cook the vegetables than was called for in the recipe. I thought the dressing overwhelmed the sweetness of the vegetables and the salty, garlicky croutons, so I completely omitted it, but added finely chopped scallions for the oniony flavor. Although I followed the recipe concerning the brussels sprouts, I would roast them next time, as mlb does here. Maybe roast the onions, too?
Anyway, this is delicious, and maybe good for a side at a holiday dinner.
