Introducing: Autumn Comfort Food with a Twist

As the leaves start to change colors and the air turns crisp, I find myself drawn to the kitchen to create comforting dishes that warm the soul. Today, I am excited to share a unique recipe that combines the flavors of fall with a creative twist that will surely delight your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• butternut squash
• pearl couscous
• pomegranate
• feta cheese
• fresh mint leaves
• olive oil
• cinnamon
• nutmeg
• salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• large pot
• mixing bowl
• chef’s knife

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice the butternut squash into small cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until tender.

While the butternut squash is roasting, cook the pearl couscous according to the package instructions in a large pot of boiling water. Once cooked, drain and transfer to a mixing bowl.

Cut the pomegranate in half and remove the seeds. Crumble the feta cheese and chop the fresh mint leaves.

Once the butternut squash is done roasting, add it to the bowl with the pearl couscous. Gently fold in the pomegranate seeds, feta cheese, and fresh mint leaves. Drizzle with a bit more olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.

A Unique Tip:

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a splash of balsamic glaze to the dish before serving. The sweet and tangy flavor will elevate the dish to a whole new level.
