Acorn Squash Mandala - Served with Black Eyed Peas and Smoked Ham






This dish seemed to almost be transformed by the simple arrangement.  I sliced the squash into rounds, seeded and sprinkled with cinnamon. Baked for 45 min at 400. I then arranged a larger slice on a plate and placed a smaller in diameter slice on top.  I was struck by the geometry of the squash and decided to use that form to suggest a mandala.  I felt that it turned out well and I plan to revisit this recipe and possibly filling the inner area of the mandala with any any of a number of items (puree? roasted veggies? etc).
