[NEW] Butternut Squash And Plantain Mash

Inspired by a dish from the Dominican Republic, this dish combines plantains, butternut squash, and garlic. By roasting the vegetables together before combining them with a bit of stock, you concentrate the natural sugars and bring out the best flavors. For a little something extra special, try taking it up a level with your favorite spice mix or making up a batch of Dominican sofrito to stir in.
