Instructions
Step 1 of 9:
Cut the Delicata squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds with a spoon. Slice the halves into thin rounds.
Step 2 of 9:
In a bowl, mix the miso, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper well.
Step 3 of 9:
Add the pumpkin slices to the miso marinade and mix well. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 4 of 9:
Heat the pan over medium heat. Add the marinated pumpkin slices and fry for approx. 10-15 minutes until they are tender and lightly caramelized. Turn occasionally.
Step 5 of 9:
Meanwhile, toast the hazelnuts and sesame seeds until golden brown in another pan without fat. Let cool.
Step 6 of 9:
Roughly chop the roasted hazelnuts and mix them in a bowl with sesame, cumin, coriander seeds, pepper, and salt.
Step 7 of 9:
Heat enough oil in a saucepan to deep-fry the sage leaves (approx. 180 °C).
Step 8 of 9:
Carefully add the fresh sage leaves to the hot oil. Fry until they are crisp and translucent (approx. 1-2 minutes). Drain on paper towels.
Step 9 of 9:
Arrange the miso-glazed Delicata squash on a plate. Generously sprinkle with hazelnut dukkah. Garnish with fried sage leaves and, if desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
