What goes with Red Kuri Squash?
A mature Red Kuri has orange flesh that becomes fine textured and fairly dense when cooked, with a chestnut-like impression rather than the watery sweetness of a summer squash. Its seed cavity and narrowing shoulders make equal pieces more useful than identical-looking wedges. Sound, thin skin may remain for roasting; hardened patches interrupt an otherwise soft bite.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Red Kuri Squash?
Choose partners that address the squash's density as well as its sweetness. Rendered pork fat makes wedges succulent, savoury fermented seasonings stop a purée tasting sugary, and toasted seeds echo the roasted surface. Bitter leaves or a restrained acidic component create relief. A crisp shell around smooth squash works especially well when the filling is dried before assembly.
