Brown Sugar Squash and Brussels Sprouts en Papillote- French Fridays with Dorie

February 2, 2013 by Renee

When I saw this recipe on the list I was excited to make it as it contains some of my favorite flavors- squash, apples, brown sugar and Brussels sprouts.  After last weeks less then stellar recipe, my anticipation grew throughout the week waiting for Friday to arrive. Unfortunately, I spent most of Friday in bed with a migraine so Ari took the helm for this recipe.

The recipe was as easy as could be. I had bought pre-cut squash rather then having to deal with peeling and butchering a whole one.  Oddly, the recipe says papillote- which traditionally is parchment paper, but in the directions it says aluminium foil.  Ari stuck to the traditional method and used parchment but I am sure either would have been fine.

After filling the four packages, he had some of the vegetables leftover so those were baked separately in a roasting pan.  I am so glad there was more than those four packages left!  He brought me up a tray with a  single package in it and I sent him back for the all the rest!

The squash and apple were soft and tender and Brussels sprouts were sweet with the brown sugar.  It was incredibly good and I am happy to say, that this recipe will definitely be made again (& again)!

Sorry, but I cannot share the recipe- but you can (and should!) buy the book and cook along with us. It’s great fun! Every Friday we make a new recipe. And I can’t wait for next weeks! For details and to see how others are recreating the dishes from this awesome book, check out the FFWD site.

    Feel better !! Kudos to Ari for jumping in- the results look amazing. I also enjoyed this since I already loved the ingredients and knew any way to prepare them would be a winner. It was still fun to try a new technique- esp one so darn quick and easy. May not re do the exact combo of this week but I am inspired to try this again with other options (or what we are “having a sale on in the fridge”).

    I am so sorry to hear about your migraine. Those can be so debilitating and I hope that you are feeling better now. I think Ari did a great job with this recipe and I’m glad that you enjoyed it. Your photos are beautiful. We also enjoyed this one and I roasted some this weekend and actually prefer them fixed this way.

Totally forgot to post the cut of my soap here. It Totally forgot to post the cut of my soap here. Its been very busy and I’m like a whirling dervish in all different directions. On the food front we made some favorites-Chicken Marbella that sustained us for a week and also a Corned Beef and Cabbage dish because it is March after all. But it was good to have the comfort foods we love and old standards as they provide the most contentment when it’s chaos everywhere else. Regular work and then some wholesale orders and getting the line poured for our Spring/Summer scents. And helping others with a few website issues. And kids. Thankfully, it seems to all be under control now and I’m really happy to be busy. All good things! 

The Eucalyptus Mint cut (smells amazing!) turned out so nice. Very happy with it. Had a request for a classic Cucumber Melon soap. Also a lovely fresh and clean spring/ summer scent. Available soon. But the Spring/Summer line of candles are done and are now available! Yay!

Still cooking. This week I made the amazing stuffe Still cooking. This week I made the amazing stuffed vegetables from Aglaia Kremezi and they were so delicious. But I didn’t take any photos. I did, however, take video of my latest soap pour. White eucalyptus and mint. Smells amazing! Can’t wait to see how the cut turns out. It was a bit thicker trace than I expected.

And while we are still cooking a lot, most of my big concoctions lately have been outside the kitchen and in the soap/candle studio. Here I am mixing scents, clays and mica colorants. Lots of new products coming to @lesilobleu soon.
