SQUASH CASSEROLE



Squash Casserole image

Squash casserole is about as Southern as it gets. You can serve it piping hot or warm, the day you make it or the next. It's up to you-but I think it's best if you just grab a spoon and dig in.

Provided by Hugh Acheson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 leeks, whites only, washed and free of grit
2 teaspoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons Water
Pinch of kosher salt
2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
3 pounds summer squash
2 cups leek crema
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated

Steps:

  • For the leek crema: Using only the lower third of the leek, remove the root, cut lengthwise down, then dice. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and cook, steaming the leeks until very tender, about 5 minutes.
  • While the leeks are steaming, slice the squash lengthwise to ¼-inch thick slices on a mandoline or with a knife, and set aside. Finish the leek crema by adding salt, then cream, and warm through.
  • For the squash casserole: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9" x 9" or 8" x 10" casserole dish with the butter by rubbing it as if you were waxing a car. Arrange the squash in a single layer in the dish. It's all right if you shingle and overlap edges minimally. This is a six-layer casserole, so allocate the ingredients accordingly. Evenly coat the first level of squash with a ladle of crema, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, a bit of thyme, a sixth of the breadcrumbs, and a sixth of the Parmigiano. Repeat these steps 5 more times, then cover the casserole with a fitted lid or foil. Bake covered for 35 minutes, then uncovered for 10 more minutes or until the top becomes nice and golden brown.
  • Remove casserole from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Butternut squash is the best type of squash to use for this casserole. It has a sweet and nutty flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients.
  • If you don't have butternut squash, you can use another type of winter squash, such as acorn squash or pumpkin.
  • Be sure to peel and cube the squash before cooking it. This will help it cook evenly.
  • You can cook the squash in the microwave or in a pot on the stove. If you're cooking it in the microwave, cook it for 5-7 minutes per pound, or until it's tender.
  • If you're cooking it in a pot on the stove, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the squash. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
  • Once the squash is cooked, drain it and mash it with a fork or potato masher.
  • Add the mashed squash to a casserole dish and mix it with the other ingredients.
  • Bake the casserole in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until it's heated through.
  • Serve the casserole hot with a dollop of sour cream or melted butter.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a holiday meal or a weeknight dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover squash, and it's also a healthy and affordable option. So next time you're looking for a tasty and nutritious side dish, give butternut squash casserole a try.
