Notes
- Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
- I had a hard time finding mung beans (the traditional ingredient in this recipe), but I did have a leftover can of Pigeon Peas from when I made
- Pigeon Peas and Rice
- from the Bahamas. For this reason, I used pigeon peas in this recipe. If you would like to use the traditional ingredients you can use mung beans. I have found them online for you
- here
- .
- I used frozen corn because (again) I had some leftover from making my
- Creamed Corn in the Instant Pot
- . You can use frozen corn if you’d like, but if you’ve recently cooked
- fresh corn on the cob
- , you can cut off the kernels and use that as well.
- Using butternut squash here certainly made the dish for me. If you’d like to use another type of squash, feel free to do so!
- I added onion powder, garlic powder, and coriander to add some flavor to the vegetable blend. In many of the recipes for Batar Da’an that I’ve found online, spices are not added to the vegetables. If you’d like to remove the spices for the sake of authenticity, you are free to do so! This is why they have been labeled as “optional”.
- I have sometimes bought pre-cubed butternut squash when making this recipe as it saves so much time not having to peel and cube a large butternut squash.
