Wasabi and maple syrup steamed butternut

By Maranda Engelbrecht
2
Easy
10 minutes
15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 500 g butternut, diced
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 t wasabi
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • fresh basil, for garnishing

Method

Steam the diced butternut, until tender.
In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, wasabi and lemon juice. Season then drizzle over the steamed butternut. Garnish with basil.
Cook’s notes: Serve as a side dish with pork or crispy duck. Pumpkin or sweet potato work equally well in this recipe.

TASTE’s take:
Apple and clove, cumin and apricot, crystallised ginger and salted pistachio, caramelised garlic and Riesling vinegar, wasabi and maple syrup…embrace the new year spirit of adventure with these unusual flavour pairings.
