It’s hard to believe but Thanksgiving is just a few short weeks away and many of us…are now taking the time to prepare our menus for the upcoming Thanksgiving Day feast.
The recipe I am sharing with you today is a guest recipe that would make the perfect addition to a Thanksgiving dinner. NoMa (North of Manhattan) has already been widely reviewed as a go-to destination, worth the trip and easy to reach from anywhere in the New York region located just to the north of New York City, in Westchester NY.
Their new fall menu, created by Executive Chef Bill Rosenberg, offers entrees and an array of Mediterranean-style small plates for mixing, matching and sharing. Selections include organic, sustainable meats, fish and local produce and a Tapas bar, with suggested wine pairings. This recipe makes 4 servings.

Enjoy! Have a great upcoming Thanksgiving holiday!
This sounds good like to try this
never had squash before
I am always looking for vegetarian recipes for some of my family members. This one looks different and like something that we could all enjoy.
I’m not a big fan of squash, but my Mom absolutely loves it. She’ll love this recipe!
Great flavors in this. I have a squash in my cupboard right now and want to roast it.
This sounds like a delicious appetizer or one of many small plates that could make up a meal. I would love to,use it the day after Thanksgiving to spruce up the meal of leftovers.
