Sweet-and-sour caramelized squash with pistachio za’atar from The Cook You Want to Be: Everyday Recipes to Impress (page 166) by Andy Baraghani

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute walnuts or almonds for pistachios, and fresh oregano for thyme.

    Looks like it's a flavorbomb, unfortunately underdelivers on actual taste. Perhaps more onions would have been nice, the squash and agrodolce are a bit one-note sweet. The pistachio za'atar isn't savory enough to cut through it, and I used it generously. Needs a salty/umami side to balance it out.

    I thought this was good, but nothing special.

    I served this as sort of a warm salad on a bed of arugula and liked the slight bitterness of the greens with the sweetness of the roasted squash, shallots and other ingredients.
