Sautéed Butternut Gemolata

Fresh lemon, finely chopped nuts and fresh parsley create a wonderful flavor and texture that goes perfectly with the natural sweetness of butternut squash.

Once you’ve peeled and seeded the squash, dice into small cubes, about 1/2″. ButternutGremolata2

Saute the squash until a nice golden crust develops on the sides. This browning (caramelize) is what gives the squash a light sweetness. Remove from heat and add the remaining ingredients, tossing well. ButternutGremolata3

  1. Would carmelized onions work to substitute for the nuts? I can’t use hemp hearts because I am on an autoimmune protocol diet.

  2. A gremolata topping is usually one filled with a bunch of textures (in addition to flavor). I might go for some crispy fried onions bits, but soft caramelized onions would be tasty too!
