2 large butternut squash
6 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
6 tablespoons heavy cream
3 tablespoons Grand Marnier liqueur
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
Crispy Leeks
2 medium leeks, white and light green parts only
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika or cayenne powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
2
Cut squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until very soft. Once cool enough to handle, scoop out cooked squash and place in food processor.
3
To the food processor, add the butter, cream, liqueur, salt and pepper. Combine until blended and season to taste.
4
Saute bacon in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain on paper towels. Add sliced onions to the bacon drippings and saute on low heat for 10 minutes or until carmelized.
5
Note: Squash can be made several days ahead. Bring to room temperature before placing in refrigerator. Reheat in oven at 350u00b0F until warmed.
6
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F.
7
Cut leeks in half lengthwise, then cut each piece in half crosswise. Cut each quarter into long, think strips. Rinse the strips under hot water and pat dry with a paper towel. Toss in a medium bowl with 1 Tablespoon olive oil.
8
Sprinkle flour, paprika, salt, pepper and lemon zest over leeks. Toss well to combine.
9
Spread evenly on a baking sheet. Bake stirring every 2 minute until leeks are crispy and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Cool before serving as garnish.
