Food Waste Friday and no wasted cilantro for once C:

30 Friday Mar 2012

Posted by Jane's Adventures in Dinner in roasted squash salad

Grr…back to wasting milk.  Small one would not drink milk this week for love nor money.  Two litres of very expensive milk totally wasted.  Grr…grr…part of the problem is that I can’t have regular milk so if small one doesn’t drink it I can’t really use it in our meals and still eat them.
I did however, use an entire bunch of cilantro with zero waste. 
This is maybe the first time in my adult life I’ve not thrown at least part of a bunch into the compost. 
Here’s where part of the bunch went.
We’ve been really heavy on the desserts this week but I think that I’m going to make up for it with this salad.
I’ve got a gorgeious buttercup squash about 9 inches in circumference ready for something fabulous.
I cut it into chunks and tossed with 1 T. of olive oil.
Roast until soft (350 for 20 minutes).
I love this salad for a lot of reasons, just one of them being I don’t have to peel my squash at all.

While you’re waiting on the roasting veg create a nice dressing of; 1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 T. sesame oil, 2 tsp. grated ginger, 2/3 cup VERY roughly chopped cilantro, 2 tsp. honey, 1 tsp. chilli garlic paste (or 1/2 tsp. crushed chilli flakes) and 3 T. rice vinegar.

Toss with the still warm squash and eat a room temperature.

Yumm…I love this dish with udon noodles for a light and quick lunch.
I love hearing from you. Leave a comment-make my day.
