Roasted Butternut Squash and Feta Pie image

Sweet caramelized onions and roasted butternut squash (called butternut pumpkin in Aussieland), teamed with feta cheese and partially encased in pastry. The roasting intensifies the sweet flavor of the squash and gives it a creamy texture, nicely balanced by the feta. Reduce the amount of fresh herb if you prefer. Preparation time does not include cooling.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 14 inch pie crust (I use Classic Pie Crust, Idiot Proof Step-By-Step Photo Tutorial or frozen store-bought shortcrust pastry)
23 ounces butternut squash, peeled and cubed,about 3/4 to 1 inch pieces
4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium red onions, sliced
4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
3 teaspoons soft brown sugar
3 1/2 ounces feta cheese, broken into small pieces
1 tablespoon fresh sage or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, your choice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F (200C), with rack positioned in the middle.
  • Place the squash and unpeeled garlic in a bowl, drizzle over 2 tablespoons olive oil, and mix well.
  • Transfer the squash and garlic to a baking tray lined with baking paper, and place in the oven.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until squash is just tender and starting to brown.
  • Place the squash in a large bowl, leave to cool, and reserve the garlic to one side.
  • While the squash is roasting, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the onions and cook stirring occasionally for 10 minutes.
  • Add the vinegar and sugar and continue to cook for a further 10 minutes, or until the onion caramelizes.
  • Remove from heat, add onions to the squash in the bowl, and allow to cool thoroughly.
  • Squeeze out the flesh from the reserved garlic, and add to the squash with the feta cheese and the herb of your choice.
  • Mix the squash, onion and feta mixture together gently, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place the pastry circle on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
  • Pile the filling on top of the pastry, leaving a 2 1/2 inch (6cm) border.
  • Fold the pastry edge up (overlapping as necessary) to partially cover the filling.
  • Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until pastry is crisp and golden.
  • Cover the vegetables loosely with foil if they look to be over-browning.

This pie is a waste of time and money. Don't bother making it.

This pie was a huge disappointment. It was dry, bland, and the crust was soggy. I won't be making this again.

This pie was a lot of work, and it didn't even taste that good. I wouldn't recommend it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as good as the pictures. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This pie was a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

The crust was a little dry, but the filling was delicious. I think I would try using a different crust recipe next time.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar. But other than that, it was a good pie.

This pie was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and it still came out delicious. The butternut squash was soft and sweet, and the feta cheese added a nice salty flavor. I would definitely recommend this r
