Butternut squash, carrots and parsnips are roasted until deeply browned, dressed with an assertive Thai vinaigrette laced with lime juice and fish sauce, then tossed with fistfuls of scallions, cilantro and mint. The original recipe calls for toasted rice powder but you can skip this (which we usually do when making this for clients), though it is a delicious addition. Feel free to sub other winter vegetables (cauliflower, romanesco, or sweet potato) or add in lightly browned ground pork or chicken, or crumbled and sauteed tofu, if you feel like you need the protein. It’s a one-dish meal or can be served with lettuce cups or rice.
