Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the delicata squash

Heat the oven to 425°F.

  • Trim the ends from the delicata squash. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon, then cut each half crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. 

On a sheet pan, drizzle the delicata squash with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread the squash in an even layer and roast, stirring halfway through, until tender and browned, 18 to 22 minutes. 

While the squash is roasting, cook your protein.

2

Cook your protein

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking.

 

For chicken:

  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.

Add the chicken to the pan and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking, turning occasionally, until firm and cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.

 

For pork:

  • Pat the pork dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper. 

Add the pork to the pan and cook, turning frequently, until browned but still faintly pink within, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan. 

 

For salmon:

  • Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel; season lightly with salt and pepper.

Add the salmon to the pan and cook until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.

3

Make the kale

In the same pan used for your protein, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the raisins and kale (the kale in batches if needed), and cook, stirring occasionally, until the raisins are softened and the kale is just wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add ½ cup [¾ cup] water, cover, and cook for 2 min. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons butter (from your pantry), if using.

Serve

Transfer the delicata squash, kale, and your protein to individual serving plates, garnish with the Parmesan, drizzle with the pomegranate molasses, and serve.
