Delicata squash always seems to sneak under the radar in the Fall as all of the big, bold winter squashes dominate their presence. Often, it is the squash at the bottom of the barrel at the Farmers’ Market. I say this because I used to leave them there unapologetically.
This year, though, I sought a winter squash that slices through a knife so smoothly there is no excuse not to make it; Delicata squash for the win. While the Delicata squash is the star ingredient, this is one dish that needs supporting flavors to make the squash shine. The bed of goat cheese plays an essential role as it guarantees a generous scoop of goat cheese in every bite, while the pomegranate arils bring a much-needed tangy crunch. Don’t mess with it.
