BUTTERNUT SQUASH PIE



Butternut Squash Pie image

This is a pie of exceptional delicacy. Unlike traditional pumpkin pie, no vegetal tones or stodgy finish mar the radiance of this pie, which stops just short of a custard and glows with the burnish of spice. The candied squash and ginger relish adds freshness and bite to an otherwise rich and creamy pie.

Time 2h

Yield 1 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 1/4 cups/183 grams all-purpose flour
Scant 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons/23 grams solid vegetable shortening, chilled
5 tablespoons/71 grams cold unsalted butter, in 5 pieces
1 large egg, beaten
2 large eggs plus 2 egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup/100 grams dark brown sugar
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups/355 grams roasted squash purée (see note)
1 1/4 cups/295 milliliters heavy cream
Whipped cream, for garnish (optional)
3/4 cup finely diced peeled butternut squash
1 1/2 tablespoons finely diced lemon peel (cut from thin lemon slices)
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons sugar
Scant 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons finely diced candied ginger

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Combine flour and salt in food processor bowl, and pulse. Remove lid, scatter vegetable shortening and butter over surface, and pulse 5 or 6 times.
  • Combine beaten egg and 3 tablespoons ice water. Pulse liquid into dry ingredients, continuing until mixture is evenly moist and dough looks curdy, about 10 seconds. Turn onto work surface, and press firmly into disk, adding drops of water if dough feels dry. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Roll dough into 15-inch round on lightly floured surface, about 1/8 inch thick, and fit into shallow 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp edges, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour. Meanwhile, place large pizza stone on lowest rack in oven, and heat at 425 degrees for 1 hour. (If you don't have a pizza stone, you can go without. It can help prevent a soggy bottom crust.)
  • Line chilled pie pan with aluminum foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake on pizza stone for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake until crust dries out and crimped edges begin to color, 3 to 5 minutes. Lower oven heat to 300 degrees.
  • While crust bakes, prepare filling: Combine eggs, vanilla, sugars, salt and spices in food processor, and process until smooth. Add squash purée, and process until smooth. With machine running, pour in heavy cream, and process to combine.
  • Scrape filling into hot prebaked shell, and bake on pizza stone for 20 minutes. Turn the oven up to 325 degrees and continue baking for another 20 to 25 minutes until filling is set two-thirds of the way in from the perimeter and the center still jiggles, about 40 to 45 minutes total (custard will continue to cook after pie is removed from oven). Tent edges loosely with foil if browning too quickly.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the candied squash and ginger relish, if using: Combine squash, lemon peel, lemon juice, sugar and salt in small bowl, and stir well. Macerate 30 minutes. Turn into small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until tender and liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Add ginger and mix well.
  • Remove pie from oven, and cool to room temperature on rack. Garnish with whipped cream and the relish, if desired.

GRANDMA WILLIAMS'S SQUASH PIE



Grandma Williams's Squash Pie image

"This year my grandma and I clocked more laughs and tears on the phone than ever. If I had it my way, our chats would happen in person while eating homemade pie or cake, with plenty of grandma hugs for dessert. Her empowering stories about growing up in Fayetteville, NC, make me dream bigger and run toward the work. She still won't video-chat, but this year she went old school by writing and mailing a letter to me. (Thank you, US Postal Service workers!) I wish I could bake one of her famous pies for all of you, especially this lemony custard-like squash pie. Grandma breaks all the rules when she makes it and everything comes out fine!" says Sunny.

Time 1h25m

Yield Three 9-inch squash pies

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 medium yellow squash, sliced into 1-inch-thick rounds
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon extract
3 large eggs
3 9-inch prepared pie shells, defrosted if frozen, or 3 rounds refrigerated pie dough

  • Bake until the filling is set, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let the pies cool to room temperature before slicing.

SQUASH PIE

A wonderful use for fall squash. If there is too much filling, surplus may be baked in custard cups set in pan of hot water. Do not bake together with the pie, because the steam from the water will make the pie soggy.

TURBAN SQUASH SOUP



Turban Squash Soup image

Turban squash taste just like any other squash - but what an incredible visual effect! With dramatic orange-and-white stripes topping off a brilliant red bottom layer, the turban squash itself makes a stunning "bowl" for the soup, a simple way to bring photoshoot-worthy glamor to your own table. It's a recipe that kids are sure to appreciate, and even grown-ups can't resist the exotic beauty of such an unusual vegetable. If you're cooking for more than one, this can get a little tricky (since you only need one squash for the soup), but you could always just buy more than one squash and save the flesh from the extras for another recipe. Most squash recipes are pretty flexible and they'll turn out just fine whatever kind you use, so don't be afraid to sub in the turban squash for butternut or another variety where you need it. As well as being beautiful to look at, this soup is also rich and creamy from the addition of coconut milk and homemade chicken stock. The other vegetables - carrots, leeks, and sweet potato - complement the flavor of the squash without overwhelming it, so the star of the show gets its chance to shine. If you're cooking for a party or special occasion, this is a great crowd-pleaser dish, or just whip up a batch to treat yourself on a nippy afternoon.

WINTER SQUASH PIE



Winter Squash Pie image

When I was a kid, everybody made pumpkin pie from a can and I didn't get it. There were beautiful squashes in the fields in October and November just screaming to be made into a fresh pie, which is why I love to make a sweet, beautiful faux pumpkin or squash pie.

Provided by Jonathan Waxman

Categories     dessert

Time 4h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds squash, butternut, hubbard, or kabocha
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons raw sugar, preferably demerara
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
3 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
1 1/2 tablespoons raw sugar, preferably demerara
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into half-inch cubes
kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the squash in half, sprinkle both halves with the salt and sugar, and dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Bake in a casserole for one hour or until tender. Remove from oven and let cool. (Note: The squash can be roasted and scooped from the skin 3 days in advance.)
  • Put the flour onto a clean surface or into a large bowl and make a well in the center. To the well, add the salt, the sugar, the butter, and 1 tablespoon cold water (add more if needed). With your fingertips, push the flour and butter together until large clumps form. Scoop the mixture together and with the heel of your hand, push until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or freeze for up to 2 weeks.
  • Dust a clean surface with flour; with the end of a rolling pin, pound the chilled dough into a large disc.
  • Roll the dough to fit an 11-inch pie plate: start from the center and roll away from yourself. Transfer the dough to the pie plate and gently press the dough into the plate and chill for at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place a large piece of parchment over the dough and weigh it down with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 15-20 minutes, rotating once. Remove from the oven, pour the beans into a heat-proof pan, and cool the crust. (Note: The crust can be rolled out and pre-baked up to 3 days in advance. After cooling, cover with plastic wrap or foil and store at room temperature.)
  • For the filling, remove and discard the seeds from the cooked squash. Scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Add the cream, eggs, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, pinch of salt, lemon zest, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk to combine, leaving the squash chunky.
  • Pour the mixture into the pie crust. Bake until the custard is set and golden-brown, 40-50 minutes.
  • Let cool and serve with cinnamon-flavored whipped cream.

SAVORY BUTTERNUT SQUASH PIE



Savory Butternut Squash Pie image

This is a substantial main-course vegetable pie. Use butternut or any other hard squash variety. The pie may be baked up to several hours in advance and reheated to serve. This allows flavors to meld and makes cutting the pie easier.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     pies and tarts, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large white or yellow onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
Salt and pepper
2 pounds butternut squash or winter squash, peeled, seeded and cut in 1-inch cubes (about 8 cups)
4 cups shredded kale, chard or other sturdy cooking green (from one 8-ounce bunch)
1 tablespoon roughly chopped sage
1 tablespoon roughly chopped thyme
2 garlic cloves, minced
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
2 (8-ounce) puff pastry rounds, or use 2 (14-ounce) puff pastry rectangles
5 ounces provolone, cut in 1/4-inch cubes (about 1 cup)
3 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Put oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat if onions are browning too quickly.
  • Transfer onions to a large bowl. Add squash cubes, kale, sage, thyme and garlic. Season with salt and red-pepper flakes, and toss well to coat.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Roll the puff pastry rounds to 12 inches in diameter (or roll and trim pastry rectangles to achieve two 12-inch rounds). Line a 10-inch pie pan or other shallow round baking dish with one 12-inch round of pastry. Add squash filling, piling it high. Sprinkle with provolone and pecorino. Lay the remaining pastry round over filling and crimp edges to seal. Paint the top of pie with beaten egg.
  • Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet to catch drips. Transfer to oven, and bake for about 1 hour, until pastry is nicely browned and squash is soft when probed with a paring knife. (Start checking at the half-hour mark and the 45-minute mark to make sure the pastry isn't browning too quickly. Tent with foil, if so.) Allow to rest at least 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into large wedges and serving.

Tips:

- Choose the right squash: Look for turban squash that are heavy for their size with smooth, unblemished skin. - Prepare the squash: Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet at 425°F for 30-40 minutes, or until tender. - Make the filling: While the squash is roasting, cook the onions, garlic, and celery in a skillet until softened. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Stir in the cooked rice, cheese, nuts, and herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper. - Assemble the pie: Once the squash is roasted and the filling is prepared, spoon the filling into the squash halves. Top with additional cheese and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. - Serve: Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Turban squash pie is a delicious and unique dish that is perfect for a fall meal. The sweet and nutty flavor of the squash pairs perfectly with the savory filling, and the pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. With its beautiful presentation and delicious flavor, turban squash pie is a dish that you'll want to make again and again.
