CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEWCooking Butternut SquashButternut squash is equally adept in sweet and savory dishes. Bake them and garnish with fresh herbs like sage, put them in a pie with cinnamon and nutmeg and garnish with pecan, or purree in a soup with fresh herbs like sage. Butternut squash is excellent when curried. They are often stuffed into dumplings such as raviolies. They may be sauteed and served atop greens. Steam butternut squash instead of boiling, unless you plan to use the liquid, as the liquid will absorb most of the flavor.
