Acorn Squash Purée

• 1 acorn squash (about 2 pounds), cut in half through the stem and seeded
• ⅓ cup coconut m

Place the squash halves, cut side up, on a large platter. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 10 minutes. Pierce the plastic with the tip of a sharp knife to release steam. Scoop the flesh out of the halves and place in a food processor with the coconut milk. Purée until the mixture is completely smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with the cayenne and salt to taste.
