Kabocha squash, which resembles a small green pumpkin, is known for its sweet
flavor, even sweeter than butternut squash. It provides the foundation for this earthy vegetable dip that also doubles as a sandwich spread. Kabochas are at their peak in fall, but they can usually be found year-round in grocery stores.

2. Scrape the seeds out of the cooked squash and discard them. With a spoon, scrape the squash out of the skin and place into the bowl of your food processor along with the onion, mushrooms, beans and garlic (add any remaining cooking water as needed to thin). Blend until smooth. Serve with raw vegetables as a dip, or use as a sandwich spread. You may use the squash skin as a bowl if using as a dip (as shown).
