Butternut Squash with Vin Cotto
- 1 medium butternut squash (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
- Kosher salt
- Vin cotto for drizzling
- Cut off the neck portion of the squash and cut it into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
- Cut the bulb portion lengthwise in half, remove the seeds and membranes, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
- Combine the olive oil, vinegar, honey, rosemary, and garlic in a small bowl and mix well.
- Put the squash in a large baking dish or shallow bowl and pour the marinade over, turning to coat.
- Allow to stand for 2 hours at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for as long as overnight, turning the squash occasionally.
- Preheat a gas grill or prepare a fire in a charcoal grill.
- Remove the squash from the marinade, draining well, and arrange in a single layer on one or two baking sheets; reserve the marinade.
- Season the squash on both sides with salt.
- Arrange the squash on the grill (you will probably have to cook it in two batches) and cook until golden brown on the first side, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Turn and cook until browned on the second side and tender, about 5 minutes (the half-rings may take slightly less time than the whole slices).
- Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with some of the reserved marinade.
- Cover with foil and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Remove the foil, drizzle the squash with vin cotto, and serve.
