WINTER SQUASH CASSEROLE



Winter Squash Casserole image

Years ago, our vegetable garden kept us well-supplied all year long. Dad stored huge piles of potatoes and squash in the coldest part of the basement. In winter the squash was so hard. Mother sometimes used an ax to cut it into small pieces for cooking! Her hard work was worth it, because we really enjoyed this wonderful casserole! -Glendora Hauger, Siren, Wisconsin

WINTER SQUASH CASSEROLE WITH ROSEMARY



Winter Squash Casserole With Rosemary image

A pungent bath of minced garlic and rosemary gives a squash casserole new life, and in turn, this casserole gives new life to your fall and winter tables. It comes from Sarah Leah Chase, a cook on Nantucket, Mass., whose book "Cold-Weather Cooking" is full of good things for the winter holidays. Flouring the squash cubes helps them form a crust, and prevents the casserole from becoming mushy; the whiff of ginger in the coating is barely detectable but adds freshness. Slow-baking the squash turns it tender and sweet.

Categories     dinner

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium-size winter squash (such as butternut, delicata, Hubbard or a combination) peeled, seeded and cubed (about 8 cups cubes)
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt, more to taste
½ teaspoon black pepper, more to taste
4 to 6 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup finely chopped parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place squash cubes in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together flour and cornstarch, then whisk in ginger, salt and pepper. Add half the dry ingredients to the squash and toss gently but thoroughly to combine. Add remaining dry ingredients and toss again until evenly coated. Add garlic, parsley, rosemary and 1/3 cup oil. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat.
  • Transfer squash to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until tender. Uncover and bake until very soft, another 45 to 60 minutes. (The casserole can be cooled and refrigerated at this point for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before resuming.)
  • To finish, brown the top: Turn oven to 350 degrees. (Alternatively, turn oven to 325 degrees with convection, or use the broiler.) Heat squash until sizzling on the bottom and crusty on the top, about 10 minutes. (If reheating from room temperature, it will take longer, 20 to 30 minutes.) Serve immediately.

ORANGE-SCENTED WINTER SQUASH AND CARROT SOUP



Orange-Scented Winter Squash and Carrot Soup image

I was looking around for new approaches to winter squash and found a wonderful looking recipe in "Plenty More," the latest collection from Yotam Ottolenghi, for roasted butternut squash with buckwheat polenta. The squash was seasoned with allspice, cardamom, and orange peel, among other things, and I was inspired to try these seasonings in a soup. I tied the spices, herbs and orange peel into a cheesecloth bag and simmered them in the soup to great effect. The essence of orange is especially appealing.

Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 allspice berries
4 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
2 bay leaves
2 thyme sprigs
10 peppercorns
Strips of zest from 1 orange
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 pound carrots, diced
2 pounds peeled winter squash, such as butternut or kabocha
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups water, chicken stock or vegetable stock
1 medium potato (about 5 ounces)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup fresh orange juice or additional stock or water
Cayenne to taste
1/4 cup cooked black quinoa
1 tablespoon toasted pistachio oil

Steps:

  • Cut a square piece of cheesecloth to make a bag for spices, herbs and orange peel. Place allspice berries, cardamom cloves, bay leaves, thyme sprigs and strips of orange zest on cheesecloth. Fold two ends over, then roll up the cheesecloth like a burrito and tie tightly with kitchen string.
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven and add onion and carrots. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add winter squash and garlic and cook, stirring, until the mixture smells fragrant, about 1 minute. Add water or stock, potato, spice bag, and salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes to 1 hour, until squash is very tender. Remove spice bag but first press it against side of the pot to extract liquid.
  • Using a hand blender, or in batches in a regular blender, purée the soup. If using a regular blender cover the top of the jar with a towel pulled down tight, rather than airtight with the lid. Return to pot and whisk in the orange juice (or additional stock or water). Taste, adjust seasonings, and heat through.
  • Toss quinoa with 1 teaspoon of the pistachio oil. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with some of the quinoa. Drizzle a little more oil over each bowl and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for firm, heavy squash with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid squash with soft spots or blemishes.
  • Cook the squash until it is tender: You can cook the squash in a variety of ways, such as roasting, baking, or steaming. Cook the squash until it is tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.
  • Use a variety of spices: Orange winter squash has a mild flavor, so it pairs well with a variety of spices. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole should be cooked until it is heated through, but not overcooked. Overcooked squash will be mushy and bland.
  • Serve the casserole immediately: Orange winter squash casserole is best served immediately after it is cooked. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Orange winter squash casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover squash, and it is also a healthy and affordable meal. With its sweet and savory flavor, orange winter squash casserole is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
