Cumin Squash Steaks with Peach Salsa
Cumin Squash Steaks with Peach Salsa Recipe

I was recently introduced to the world of vegetarian "steaks." I am a huge fan.  It all started when a friend made cauliflower steaks for our plant based friends at a barbecue and they quickly became the star of the show.  Charred on the outside and served with a delicious pesto, people were fighting for the last one.  Since then I have been making lots of cauliflower steaks, ususally with Romesco, and lately been venturing out to into other veggie steaks like today's cumin butternut squash steak.  Since peaches are just coming into season, I knew I wanted to add smoky flavors to the squash to pair with the sweetness of the peaches. If you like things spicy, some ancho chili powder would be delicious as well.  From there it's simple.  Grill up the squash, make the peach salsa, and dinner is ready.
