Why you should cook a whole dang squash in your slow cooker.
But you came here for a recipe didn’t you? I get it. When it comes to squash cooked so tender it slices like butter, I want to pair it with nothing but texture: chewy and crunchy, to be exact. Chew will arrive in the form of spelt, a nutty whole grain similar to farro; deeply toasted hazelnuts or pecans deliver the crunch.
I’ll address the elephant in the room: This isn’t a one-pot meal. You’ll need to use your stove and oven in addition to your slow cooker here, but this is not to drive up your blood pressure. Every component of this recipe can actually be prepared in advance, so all you need to do day of is plug in your slow cooker.
The day you plan to make this dish, plop a squash in your slow cooker, set the timer for 6 hours on low and go about your day. Hit the gym, go out for coffee, mow the lawn, I don’t know. But I do know that once you’ve set it, you really can forget it. Once the squash is cooked, slice it into wedges and top it with the cooked grains , toasty nuts, and tangy-sweet dressing. Bring it all home with blops of creamy, salty feta, and a shower of Aleppo pepper.
