I cannot tell you just how wonderful this is! The Lemon Creme Fraiche is
outstanding, and works very well with the squash. You can use any squash,
or even sweet potatoes.
By omitting the sweetener, Miyoko says you can use the creme fraiche in a
dairy-free mushroom stroganoff. The possibilities for this creme fraiche
are endless. How about on some steamed asparagus, or even broccoli? Yum!!
BTW, if you haven't had kabocha, do try it. It's a delightful winter
squash.
NOTES : "This very simple and unique dish is a vegan replication of
something I tasted at a progressive nomi-ya (a Japanese drinking
establishment serving a variety of tapas-style delectables). In the
original version, heavy cream was used. I have substituted silken tofu with
excellent results. This dish can be an appetizer or side dish.
