Butternut Squash and Chorizo Hash
Recipe By: BY ANNA STOCKWELL
Top this sweet and spicy hash recipe with eggs for breakfast or fold it into tortillas for a taco with some sour cream and hot sauce on top and you’ve got dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. (or more) extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 oz. fresh chorizo, casings removed
- 1 lb. butternut squash (about ½ of a medium squash), peeled, cut into ½" pieces (about 4 cups)
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- Kosher salt
- Lime wedges and cilantro leaves with tender stems (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a large heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high. Cook chorizo, breaking up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon; reserve skillet with fat.
Step 2
Add butternut squash and onion to reserved skillet and cook over medium-high, adding more oil if needed and stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, 10–15 minutes. Stir in chorizo and season with salt. Squeeze a lime wedge over and top with cilantro. Serve with additional lime wedges for squeezing over.

October Garden Tips
Provided by Costa Farms
By Doug Jimerson
Here are garden tips for the month of October. Roll up your sleeves and dig in!
1. Plant Trees, Shrubs, and Roses
October is an ideal time to plant deciduous trees, shrubs, and roses: The cool weather encourages plants to root quickly and the soil is generally easier to work since it’s not as cold and mucky as it can be in the spring. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball of the plant, set the plant in the hole at the same height it was growing in its nursery pot, mulch, and water. It’s that simple!
Tip: If you buy a plant that has already lost its leaves, don’t worry. This means it is dormant and won’t mind a change in venue.
