CHEESY BAKED BUTTERNUT SQUASH POLENTA
Butternut squash melts into the polenta as it cooks for this creamy make-ahead dish. Once transferred to a baking dish, pressing chunks of creamy Fontina cheese into the polenta ensures that once baked it will be full of gooey pockets of cheese throughout.

Steps:
- Combine 1 Tbsp. salt and 6 cups water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Gradually whisk in polenta, then cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until polenta just begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Stir in squash, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until polenta is thick and no longer gritty, and squash mashes easily when pressed with the back of a spoon, 30-40 minutes.
- Mix in milk and nutmeg, increase heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring constantly and smashing squash with the back of spoon, until squash is dissolved into the polenta, 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan and 1/4 cup butter until melted. Let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add sage and cook, stirring, just until leaves are lightly crisped and darker in color, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sage to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Grease a shallow 3-qt. baking dish with butter, then transfer polenta mixture to baking dish. Scatter Fontina cheese over and press down lightly with spoon to submerge. Top with crisped sage. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and chill overnight and up to 2 days.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Uncover dish and bake casserole until bubbly and lightly browned on top, 30-35 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
CHEF JOHN'S BAKED ACORN SQUASH
I like how this tastes, but scoring the squash with a knife before baking really makes for a great presentation. It also allows the simple but delicious glaze to penetrate nice and deep.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Score the squash by making 1/4-inch deep slashes into the flesh of the squash. Place in baking dish. Brush with orange juice and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 30 min.
- Meanwhile, simmer butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small skillet over medium heat until smooth and the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the squash from the oven. Pour out any liquid that may have collected in the squash. Brush the glaze over each squash half. Return to the oven until tender, about 20 more minutes. Spoon any glaze that has collected at the bottom of the squash over the edges of the squash. Season with additional salt, if desired.

ACORN SQUASH POLENTA
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place squash on large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt; toss to coat. Arrange squash in single layer. Bake squash until brown and tender when pierced with fork, about 25 minutes. While squash is roasting, cook onion in 3 tablespoons butter in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring, until very soft, about 8 minutes. Add water, milk, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Add polenta in a thin stream, whisking. Cook polenta at a bare simmer, stirring with a long-handled whisk and turning down heat as needed to prevent spattering, 5 minutes. Stir in squash and cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in cheese and remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Serve immediately.
ROASTED ACORN SQUASH WITH POMEGRANATE AND GOAT CHEESE
Acorn squash is one of my favorites for the holidays. This holiday treat adds some color and flavor to the table. You can sub out kabocha squash for this recipe if you prefer. Balsamic vinegar is also a great substitute for maple syrup.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
- Wash the two whole squash under running water and pat dry. Cut the squash in half by inserting the tip of a chef's knife in the center of the squash where the stem connects. Push the tip in until it has cut all the way through the skin and flesh, then press down firmly on the handle, bringing the heel of the blade all the way to the cutting board. Turn the squash 180 degrees and repeat on the other side, splitting the squash. Scrape out the seeds with a spoon.
- Slice the squash into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Heat a 14-inch cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once heated, add the squash in an even layer. Season with salt and pepper and sear on the first side until lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes, in batches if needed. Place the seared squash on the prepared sheet tray, seared-side down, and season the top side with salt and pepper. Scatter the thyme sprigs over the squash and put into the oven. Roast until the edges are brown and the squash is tender in the middle, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Transfer the squash to a large bowl, season with more salt, pepper and cumin to taste. Drizzle with the warmed syrup and toss to combine. Pour onto a platter and sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds and goat cheese.

Steps:
- To make the pulled pork, combine the spices and sugar, rub them all over the pork roast and refrigerate overnight.
- Soak the wood chips in water 20 minutes before cooking. When ready to cook, partly fill a metal bowl with water. In the bottom of a charcoal grill, surround the bowl with charcoals. Ignite the coals, and when they are white, place the roast, fat side up, over the bowl and add some wood chips to the fire. Cook, covered, 4 to 6 hours, adding wood chips and charcoal every hour as needed, until the roast has reached an internal temperature of 185 degrees. Allow it to cool for an hour before removing the fat and pulling the pork into pieces.
- Meanwhile, make the acorn squash. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice off the tops of the squash and enough off the bottoms to make them sit flat. Scoop out the seeds and rub about 2 teaspoons of butter inside each. Roast for 40 minutes and keep warm.
- To make the polenta souffle, melt the butter in a medium pan. Stir in the corn flour and cornmeal and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Mix in the milk and 1 cup water and cook, stirring, 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Beat 2 tablespoons water into egg yolks, then stir thoroughly into the flour mixture. Add the salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff but not dry peaks; gently mix them into the polenta, using a wooden spoon.
- Place about cup of the pulled pork in each squash, and over that, spoon in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the souffle mixture. Bake until the souffle has become puffy and brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve immediately alongside additional pulled pork.
