Рецепт Butternut squash and black bean skillet
It feels a bit weird for me to be calling this recipe a ‘skillet’, since (as far as I can tell), ‘skillet’ is just the American word for a frying pan, and I’m not American. However, I’ve seen loads of skillet recipes lately, and I love a good bandwagon, so here you go: butternut squash and black bean skillet.
Shall I say ‘skillet’ again? Skillet.
A skillet recipe is just one that can be cooked on the hob (or stove, since apparently I’m being all American today) in one pan – a really simple recipe that tends to be a mish mash of various yummy bits that all go well together. This version is hearty and autumnal, with a slightly Mexican vibe from the spicy, cheesy black beans and the rich tomato sauce.
By the way, this dish would be ideal served with some fresh coriander too – but obviously since I’m super disorganised, I ran out the day before I made this…
Oh and yes, I am officially now in autumn mode. No longer can we pretend it’s still late summer… late September is definitely autumn (sorry, I know it hurts to hear this as much as it pains me to say it). But it’s not all bad – hence the butternut squash! I’m sure it will be making many more appearances here over the next couple of months, since I can’t bring myself to chop up a pumpkin (I nearly lost a finger even just with the butternut squash and I don’t really fancy losing an entire arm).
Butternut squash and black bean skillet Author: Becca @ Amuse Your Bouche Recipe type: Main meal Yield: 2-3 Ingredients
1tbsp oil 1 onion, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced 350g butternut squash (around half a medium squash), cut into 1cm dice 1 mild red chilli, finely diced Salt Black pepper 400g tin black beans, drained (240g when drained) 1 tsp smoked paprika ¼ tsp hot chilli powder ¼ tsp ground cumin ¼ tsp ground coriander 400g tin chopped tomatoes 75g cheddar cheese, grated Instructions
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, and add the onion, garlic, squash and red chilli. Season well, and cook over a medium heat for 5-10 minutes, until the onion is fairly soft. Add the black beans, spices, and chopped tomatoes, and mix well (I also added a dash of water because my mixture seemed fairly dry). Cover the pan, bring it to a gentle simmer, and cook for another 5-10 minutes until the butternut squash is completely cooked. Top with the grated cheese, and allow it to melt into the dish. Serve warm. 3.2.2807
