Butternut Squash by Lize

My friend, Lize, is a phenomenal chef. She creates recipes & food concepts for Trader Joe's, Costco & other grocery providers. This is her rendition of butternut squash. She makes this each year @ Halloween and serves it with Danielle's famous soup & pork. It is by-far one of the best meals I've ever had. Decadent.

Serves: 8, as a side dish

1 butternut squash, peeled and sliced into 1/2" rings
16 garlic cloves, peeled
1 pack of arugula
2 cups of parmegianno regianno or grana padano, shaved
3 avocados, sliced

1. Saute butternut squash and garlic in a saucepan with butter & olive oil.
2. Once you've got good color on both sides (flip now/then) add at least 1/2 L of orange juice and cover. Let it simmer, turning frequently. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar and a little brown sugar.
3. Remove from heat once butternut and garlic is cooked and totally caramelized.
4. Toss with arugula and top with avocado and Parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.
