Delicata Squash with Orange & Pistachios

Three of my favorite flavors together in one dish!  Yum!  The recipe is from EatingWell, http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/delicata_squash_orange_pistachios.html   Delicata squash has a wonder, delicate flavor, and the skin is tender enough to eat when cooked - so no peeling!

Takes about 35 minutes to make, and serves 4.

INGREDIENTS

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 shallots, halved and sliced

1 large, or 2 smaller, Delicata squash, halved lengthwise, seeded, and thinly sliced (about 4 cups)

1 tsp orange zest

3/4 cup orange juice

1/4-1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

2 Tbsp chopped salted pistachios

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes.  Add squash, orange zest and juice, salt and pepper.  Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook, stirring once, until the squash is almost tender, 6-8 minutes.  Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed and the squash is tender and beginning to brown, 12-15 minutes more.  Garnish with pistachios.
