This has notes of pumpkin pie (which I adore) and of good mashed squash. It’s savory, with a tinge of sweetness. It’s just divine. Served with some salted crispy shallots on top for a tasty garnish.

    Garnish with crispy shallots. To make: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small skillet. Slice shallots into thin rounds (use about one shallot/person).
