My friend Elizabeth sent this recipe to me. It is so simple and I have to confess I made it even easier. The dip is basically a big sheet pan with fresh butternut squash, onions, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper roasted at a high temp in the oven then tossed in the food processor with some select winter spices. A small amount of nutmeg and cayenne pepper with a tablespoon or two of light sour cream or creme fraiche' adds a really nice flavor. I make pita chips with store bought pita bread toasted in the oven with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Fresh radishes make a BIG difference! Keep the green leaves on them, it makes a nice handle for dipping and you can't get the same flavor using pre-cut and packaged radishes.
Where do you get creme fraiche up here?
