Thanksgiving Leftover Toast

Ingredients

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Serves 4-6

Note: We recommend using all organic, locally sourced ingredients, just like we do at our Café!
·    1 ea medium butternut squash (Peeled and Cleaned)
·    1 oz coconut oil
·    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
·    1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
·    Himalayan Sea salt
·    ½ loaf Walnut Bread
·    1 1/2 1lbs. crimini mushrooms (sliced)
·    3 T olive oil
·    6 cloves chopped garlic
·    12 sage leaves (chopped)
·    2 tsp Himalayan salt
·    1 tsp. Black Pepper
·    Optional garnish: goji berries or dried cranberries

Method

Part 1: Mashed Butternut Squash

1 ea medium butternut squash (Peeled and Cleaned)
1 oz coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch pink Himalayan sea salt

Toss ingredients and place on a sheet pan. Roast at 400 degrees for approximately 40 minutes or until soft. Rough mash of ingredients.

Part 2: Sage Mushrooms

1 1/2 lbs crimini mushrooms (sliced)
3 tbsp. olive oil
6 cloves chopped garlic
12 sage leaves (chopped)
2 tsp. Himalayan salt
1 tsp. Black Pepper

Sauté crimini mushrooms in olive oil and add garlic and sage salt/pepper.

Part 3: Balsamic Vinegar Syrup

This is simply a reduction of balsamic vinegar by approximately 75 percent then cooled.

Part 4: Assembly

Step 1: Toast walnut bread (we source ours from Prager Brothers!) and smear a couple of tablespoons of squash mixture on toast.

Step 2: Add a couple more tablespoons of sauté mushroom mixture on top of squash as the next layer of goodness.

Step 3: Finally, drizzle with your balsamic vinegar syrup. Garnish with goji berries or dried cranberries.
