Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Peel, seed, and chop the squash. Distribute evenly on a baking pan and drizzle lightly with oil. Bake until soft to the touch, about 20 minutes. Remove and cool.

Cook the Rosemary Sausage in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat, stirring often, until browned. Add the apples, onions and peppers. Cook, stirring regularly, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the squash. Saute until the squash is lightly browned, 1 to 2 more minutes.

Cook eggs separately as desired.

Plate the squash hash, drizzle with Cranberry-Ginger Chutney and top with eggs.


Rosemary Sausage:
Mix the pork with the fennel, garlic, sage, salt, pepper and rosemary well by hand.


Cranberry-Ginger Chutney:
In a medium pot, boil the cranberries and 1 cup water until the berries start to pop, 5 to 7 minutes. Simmer on medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Add the sugar, garlic, ginger, lemon zest and salt, and simmer for another 20 minutes.
