PREPARATIONĀ
1. Preheat oven to 425 F (218 C). To prepare squash,Ā use a sharp knife to carefully cut in half lengthwise (from root to tip), then remove seeds with a spoon or ice scream scooper. Slice squash halves into even wedges and leave the skin on.
2. Arrange squash on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with oil, salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer. Roast squash for ~15-20 minutes or until tender and golden brown.
3. Put your cranberries in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Set aside for 10 minutes.Ā
4. In the meantime, prepare dressing by adding balsamic vinegar to a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil. Then allow to simmer until it is reduced by half and looks thick (about 10-15 minutes). Watch carefully near the end as it can go from reduced to burnt quickly. Youāll know itās done when, swirled, it coats the sides of the pan.
5. Now it's time toĀ toast spelt crackers and pecans.Ā Add both ingredients to a skillet, add a bit of olive olive and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned ā about 3-5 minutes (being careful not to burn). Mix in a bit of fresh thyme.Ā
6.Ā Next, add sliced shallots to a small bowl with salt, pepper and toss to coat. Heat a medium (preferably cast-iron) skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add oil and floured shallots and sautĆ©, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden brown and crispy ā ~5 minutes.
7. To serve, arrange mâche on two platters and top with roasted squash, crispy shallots, toasted cracker mix, and cranberries. Drizzle with dressing. Enjoy!
