BUTTERNUT SQUASH CONGEE WITH CRISPY SHALLOTS AND SOFT-BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Put the rice in a medium bowl and cover with water; drain. Repeat twice; drain well in a fine-mesh sieve. (This will help remove some of the starch.) Transfer the rinsed rice back to the bowl and add 1 1/2 tablespoons salt with 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil. Mix well with your hand or a rubber spatula and let sit for five minutes.
• Meanwhile, pulse the butternut squash in a food processor until finely chopped. (If you are using a mini food processor, do this in batches.) Set aside.
• Rinse the rice twice with cold water to remove the excess salt, then drain and transfer to a medium nonstick saucepan. Add the broth and butternut squash. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a medium-low simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until the consistency resembles oatmeal and the butternut squash is completely soft, bright orange and incorporated into the congee, about 30 minutes. Add the white pepper and season with salt.
• While the congee cooks, placed the eggs in a small saucepan, cover with cold water and add the vinegar. Bring to a boil, cover and remove from the heat. Let sit for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water; peel, then halve each egg lengthwise. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallots and gently fry, stirring, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Lightly sprinkle with salt.
• Divide the congee among 4 shallow bowls. Top each with 2 egg halves. Garnish the congee with the ginger, scallions, cilantro and crispy shallots. Drizzle with sesame oil, if desired. Enjoy while warm.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH BURRITOS

Steps:

• Combine the squash, 1/2 cup water and a pinch of salt in a large microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap and pierce to vent. Microwave, stirring once, until just tender, 15 minutes; drain.
• Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until soft, 5 minutes; stir in the chili powder. Add the beans, rice and 1/2 cup water and simmer, stirring, until the liquid evaporates, about10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Wipe out the skillet. Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet over medium heat, then add the eggs and cook, stirring, until they start setting. Fold in the squash and cook until the eggs are set.
• Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave. Divide the rice mixture, scrambled eggs, cheese and jalapenos among the tortillas. Fold up the bottoms, then fold in the sides and roll up. Serve with salsa.
