Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Squash

Time 2h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (2 1/2 pound) butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 cup chicken broth
8 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese
8 ounces shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onions and garlic; cook until the onions soften and turn golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the butternut squash and brown sugar. Continue cooking and stirring until the butternut squash begins to brown on the edges, but is still somewhat firm in the center, about 10 minutes more. Scrape the squash into the prepared baking dish, and pour in the chicken broth. Wrap tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the liquid has been absorbed and the squash is tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Toss together the Gruyere cheese, Cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, thyme, and rosemary in a bowl until evenly combined. Remove the foil from the baking dish, and sprinkle the squash evenly with the cheese mixture. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top. Return to the oven, and bake uncovered for 15 minutes more until the topping is lightly crunchy and brown.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND POTATO GRATIN WITH FRESH SAGE



Butternut Squash and Potato Gratin with Fresh Sage image

Categories     Potato     Side     Bake     Dinner     Squash     Kosher     Sage     Boil

Yield SERVES 4 TO 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
1 large shallot, minced
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
5 large sprigs fresh thyme, leaves chopped
12 large sage leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 medium russet or Yukon gold potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and sliced into 1/8-inch thick rounds
1/4 small butternut squash (preferably from the stem end), peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350°F.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until it softens and becomes translucent, about 30 seconds. Add the cream, thyme, 5 of the sage leaves, 2 teaspoons salt, and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let the sage infuse in the cream for 10 minutes. Then remove and discard the sage leaves.
  • Generously butter an 8 by 8-inch baking dish and arrange one-third of the potatoes and one-third of the squash across the bottom, overlapping them slightly to make a relatively even layer. Pour one-third of the cream mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle with one-third of the cheese. Build 2 more layers in the same way; on the last layer, add the remaining potatoes and cream, then arrange the remaining 7 sage leaves decoratively over the top. Finally, sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue baking until the top is golden and a skewer goes into the potatoes with no resistance, about 30 minutes longer.
  • Let rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

BUTTERNUT & SAGE GRATIN



Butternut & Sage Gratin image

Creamy roasted veggies with a golden crunchy topping, this recipe is vegetarian comfort food at its very best. Whilst the classic flavour combination of butternut squash and sage speaks for itself, the showstopping element of this dish lies in that cheesy crumb

Provided by chrisf298

Time 50m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C. Halve the butternut squash lengthways (no need to peel!) and scoop out the seeds. Chop into 1cm cubes and lay on a baking tray. Drizzle over a little oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread out evenly and roast on the top shelf of your oven until soft and golden, 30-35 mins. TIP: Make sure the squash is cut nice and small or it'll take a little longer to cook.
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion into ½cm pieces. Cut each chestnut mushroom into about five slices. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Pick the sage leaves from their stalks and finely chop (discard the stalks).
  • Heat a glug of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the mushrooms until browned, 5-7 mins. Add the onion and cook until soft, 3-5 mins, then add the garlic and half the sage. Cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the crème fraîche, stock powder, water (see ingredients list for amount) and cavolo nero. Stir to dissolve the stock powder. Simmer until the cavolo nero has softened, 4-5 more mins. TIP: Add a splash of water if the mix looks a little too dry!
  • Next, make the crumb. Pop the remaining sage in a small bowl with the panko breadcrumbs, cheese and olive oil (see ingredients for amount). Season with pepper. Preheat your grill to high.
  • When the butternut is ready, remove from the oven and add it to the creamy veggies. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Transfer to an ovenproof dish and sprinkle over the cheesy crumb topping. Pop under the grill until golden brown and crunchy, 3-5 mins.
  • Meanwhile, pop the baby leaves in a large bowl and drizzle over the olive oil (see ingredients for amount). Season with salt and pepper. Toss together. Serve the gratin on plates with the baby leaf salad on the side. Enjoy!

GRATIN OF BUTTERNUT SQUASH



Gratin of Butternut Squash image

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 butternut squash (about 3 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • With a small sharp knife or vegetable peeler, carefully peel the squash, removing the yellow skin and green layer underneath. (The skin is difficult to remove, and you will have to peel the squash twice if you are using a vegetable peeler.) Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut in half lengthwise again; then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Put the squash slices in a large saucepan and cover with tepid tap water. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and boil gently for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender. Drain in a colander and transfer to a gratin dish with the rest of the ingredients. Mix well.
  • If squash is prepared in advance, reheat in a 425-degree oven for 15 minutes, until hot and lightly browned on top. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for one that is firm, heavy for its size, and has a deep orange color.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the squash: This will help you avoid squashing the squash and make it easier to cut into even pieces.
  • Don't overcook the squash: Butternut squash should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well.
  • Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash, sage, and mozzarella gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall meal. The butternut squash is roasted until tender and then combined with a creamy sauce made with sage, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. The dish is then baked until golden brown and bubbly. This gratin is a great way to use up leftover butternut squash and it is also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck.
