AUTUMN SQUASH CASSEROLE



Autumn Squash Casserole image

This has become a must-have at Thanksgiving. It's so good it tastes like it could be dessert! Even people who don't usually like squash change their mind after trying this. It's a delicious blend of different tastes and textures. I use buttercup squash, but acorn squash can also be used; Jonathan, Rome or other dry apples work best. It can also be made a day ahead of time--just add the cornflake topping and bake the next day.

AUTUMN SQUASH SOUP WITH PUFF PASTRY



Autumn Squash Soup with Puff Pastry image

Categories     Side     Bake     Squash     Kosher     Pastry     Simmer

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 acorn squash (about 3/4 pound), seeded
1 large orange-fleshed sweet potato, such as a Garnet yam (about 3/4 pound)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/3 cup brandy
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 quart chicken stock (page 190) or vegetable stock (page 191), plus more as needed
1/4 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound frozen puff pastry, thawed but cold
Egg wash: 1 whole egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the squash half, cut side down, in a pie tin or small baking dish with 1/2 inch of water. Bake, uncovered, until the flesh can be easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 40 minutes, adding a little more water if necessary. When cool, scoop the flesh out of the skin. You should have about 1 cup.
  • Pierce the sweet potato in several places with a fork. Place it in a pie tin or on a baking sheet and bake alongside the squash until tender when pierced, about 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, scoop the flesh out of the skin. You should have about 1 cup.
  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the brandy and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to burn off the alcohol. Add the squash, sweet potato, ginger, cinnamon, and stock. Bring to a simmer and cook gently for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • In a blender or food processor, puree the contents of the pot until smooth. Pour into a clean pot. Whisk in the cream. Thin with additional stock if needed to achieve a pleasing soup consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. On a lightly floured work surface, roll the puff pastry to a 1/8-inch thickness. Cut 6 rounds, each 2 inches larger in diameter than the top of the soup bowl (for a 5-inch bowl, cut a 7-inch round). To guide you, invert a bowl onto the flattened pastry and cut around it. You can gather and reroll the scraps once. Put the rounds on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Divide the soup among 6 ovenproof bowls. Brush the rim of each bowl with egg wash. Cover with a round of pastry and press the pastry firmly around the sides so the top is taut, like a drum. Make sure there are no cracks in the pastry. Brush the tops lightly with egg wash.
  • Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy with Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay Reserve or another full-bodied, oak-aged white wine.
