    This recipe was suggested as an accompaniment to the brisket. Followed the recipe as written. The combination of dates, sage, brown sugar and garlic works so well. Such an easy dish to put together and let the oven do the work. Will make again.

    Easy peasy, and super delicious. Luckily, we still had plenty of sage in the herb garden, and it was such an interesting combo with the squash (I used Kabocha), dates, and lots of garlic.

    I made this with sweet potatoes instead of squash and it was heavenly.
