WINTER SQUASH GRATIN WITH MUSHROOMS



Winter Squash Gratin with Mushrooms image

I love butternut squash -- well, all fall and winter squash, actually. And depending on where you live or how early or late in the season it is, you may not find a good butternut. That's why I made this casserole so that you can swap in whatever cold-weather squash you like or can find. Just use the same weight and bake until completely tender. And if you are not into meat or bacon, you can leave that out, too, -- just add an additional 4 ounces of your favorite mushrooms for even more umami.

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces smoked bacon, chopped
1 pound mushrooms, preferably wild or mixed variety, sliced
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups whole milk
3 ounces grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (about 3/4 cup)
10 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated
4 pounds butternut, kabocha or acorn squash or pumpkin, peeled, seeded and chopped (about 8 cups)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
One 6-inch piece baguette, 1 hoagie roll or 2 large dinner rolls, torn into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and set aside until ready to bake.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the bacon, tossing occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is deep golden brown and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a large heatproof bowl, leaving as much fat in the skillet as possible. Add 1 more tablespoon oil to the skillet and half the mushrooms. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, about 3 minutes, then toss and continue cooking, undisturbed, until browned on the second side, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the large bowl. Repeat with 1 more tablespoon oil and the remaining mushrooms.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet and cook the onions and garlic over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the 1 tablespoon rosemary, 1 tablespoon sage, 1 tablespoon thyme, all of the nutmeg and cayenne, 4 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper; cook until very fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the flour, stir until completely coated and cook for 1 minute. Add the milk, bring to a boil and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the Parmigiano and Gruyere and transfer to the large bowl; add the squash and toss to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking pan, cover tightly with foil and bake until the squash is tender and the gratin is boiling rapidly, 60 to 75 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit covered until ready to serve.
  • Meanwhile, rinse and wipe the skillet clean and melt the butter over medium-high heat. Cook the bread, tossing frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, add the remaining 1 teaspoon each rosemary, sage and thyme, tossing until completely combined and cook until very fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Just before serving, uncover the gratin and top with the herbed croutons.

SIMPLE PROVENçAL WINTER SQUASH GRATIN



Simple Provençal Winter Squash Gratin image

I've offered a few winter squash gratin recipes over the years, but none as simple as this one. There's little more than squash here, seasoned with lots of garlic and fresh herbs. Dicing all the squash takes time, but then the work is just about done. If you want to use a food processor, you can, but you can't get even pieces that way. The recipe is based on one of my favorite recipes in Richard Olney's book "Simple French Food."

Provided by Tara Parker-Pope

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pounds winter squash (like 1 large butternut), peeled, seeds and membranes removed, cut in 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch dice
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil a 3-quart baking or gratin dish with olive oil. Toss together all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Combine well and turn into the baking dish. Place in the oven and bake 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, until the squash is thoroughly tender and the top is lightly browned. Serve hot or warm.

WINTER SQUASH GRATIN



Winter Squash Gratin image

This gratin uses the same template I use for many of my vegetable gratins. It's an easy vegetarian main dish to make, resembling a quiche but without the crust.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds winter squash of your choice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
3 eggs
1/2 cup low-fat milk
2 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated (1/2 cup)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Cover a baking sheet with foil and brush lightly with olive oil. Cut the squash in half, scoop out the seeds and stringy membranes, brush the cut sides with olive oil and lay cut side down on the foil-covered baking sheet. Bake 40 minutes, or until soft enough to pierce easily with a knife. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, then peel and either mash with a fork, puree in a food processor fitted with the steel blade, or finely dice. You should have about 2 cups of pureed or finely diced squash.
  • Turn the oven down to 375ºF and oil a 2-quart gratin or baking dish with olive oil. Heat the remaining oil over medium heat in a medium heavy skillet and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Stir in the parsley and sage, and squash, and remove from the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl and whisk in the milk. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Stir in the squash mixture and the Gruyère. Taste and adjust seasonings. Scrape into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the Parmesan over the top.
  • Bake 30 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned on the top and sizzling. Serve hot, warm, or room temperature.

GRATIN OF BUTTERNUT SQUASH



Gratin of Butternut Squash image

Categories     Milk/Cream     Side     Bake     Thanksgiving     Casserole/Gratin     Parmesan     Butternut Squash     Fall     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large butternut squash (3 1/4 pounds), peeled and seeded (2 1/2 pounds)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cut off and discard the stem of the squash, then cut the squash into two pieces by cutting through it horizontally at the bottom of the neck. This will make it easier to peel.
  • Peel the cylindrical neck lengthwise, removing enough skin so that the orange flesh underneath is revealed. (Under the outer skin there is a layer of green, which should be removed.) Peel the round part of the squash by cutting around it in a spiral fashion with a sharp knife; it is easier to peel a round object in this manner.
  • Cut the rounded part in half lengthwise, and, using a spoon, scoop out the seeds. Then cut the squash into 1/8-to-1/4-inch slices, either with a knife or in a food processor fitted with the slicing blade.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the squash slices in a large saucepan, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Boil over high heat for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then drain in a colander. The pieces will break a little in cooking. Arrange pieces in a gratin dish, and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Pour on the cream, and stir gently with a fork to distribute the additions properly. Cover with the cheese, and bake for about 30 minutes.
  • At serving time, brown the top of the gratin by heating it under a hot broiler for 4 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
