INGREDIENTS:

Roasted Delicata Squash:
1 delicata squash, halved and cut into 1-inch half moons
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 clove garlic, microplaned 
½ lemon, zested
Salt

Braised Short Ribs:
3 pounds flanken short ribs, cut into 1-inch thick pieces
Neutral oil
1 quart chicken stock 
1 cup sweet soy sauce 
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce 
½ cup whole garlic cloves
350 grams whole, peeled shallots
3 star anise

To Assemble and Serve:
2 scallions, julienned

METHOD:

For the Roasted Delicata Squash:
Heat oven to 375°F. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, honey, garlic, and lemon zest. Add squash to bowl and toss to coat. Season with salt. Transfer squash to an aluminum foil-lined sheet pan. Roast 25 to 30 minutes, or until tender.

For the Braised Short Ribs:
In a skillet over medium-high flame, heat oil. When oil is at the smoking point, add short ribs and sear until a crust forms on all sides. Transfer short ribs to a stockpot over medium heat. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Cover and reduce heat. Braise 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest in the pot at least one hour before serving. 

To Assemble and Serve:
In a serving bowl, lay Roasted Delicata Squash at the bottom of a bowl. Place 3 pieces Braised Short Ribs on top. Ladle the braising liquid over the ribs, letting it pool in the bowl. Garnish with scallions.
