Ingredients

1 each ancho chile
1 medium butternut squash, peeled & cubed
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1   pinch cayenne

Instructions

Put the ancho chili in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chili is soft, about 10 mins. Remove the chili from the liquid.

When cool enough to handle, stem the chili, split it open, and scrape out the seeds. Meanwhile, put the squash in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until the squash is tender, about 10 mins.

Drain well and transfer to a food processor. Add the chili and the cumin and process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Season with salt and cayenne.

Divide among 4 plates and serve immediately.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
