I feel bad about the butternut squash, I really do. It doesn't exactly scream springtime. Trouble is, ever since I saw Elise's combination of lamb shanks and butternut squash, I haven't been able to stop thinking about this heavenly-sounding combination. Read more See less
Ingredients
- 2 lamb shoulder chops, 6-8 ounces each shopping list
- 20 ounce package peeled butternut squash chunks or a 12 ounce package frozen pureed squash shopping list
- 2 zucchinis, sliced thinly into rounds shopping list
- olive oil shopping list
- 1/4 cup finely minced parsley shopping list
- 1/4 cup finely minced garlic shopping list
How to make it
- Place squash chunks in a largish saucepan and cover with water. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until fork tender. Drain, mash, and season with salt and pepper. (Unless you go totally bananas for the stuff, there will most likely some squash leftover -- 20 ounces is a quite a bit for two people.) If using frozen squash, prepare according to package instructions.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small pan over moderately high heat, and cook zucchini, stirring every few minutes, until soft and browned in spots, about 10 minutes total.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in another small pan (okay, one drawback to this recipe is that we've already got three dirty pots and pans...) and sear lamb chops, 2 minutes on each side for medium rare. Remove to plate and cover to keep warm. Combine the parsley and garlic and throw into the hot pan. Shake and stir for about 15-20 seconds or just until garlic is aromatic. Serve up butternut squash, zucchini, and lamb, with persillade on top.

I have some Butternut Squash from my garden that I keep in my root cellar, it would work wonderfully with your recipe. Your Lamb looks perfectly done nice and pink.
