Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons + 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 leeks (green portion cut off, washed well and cut into skinny lengthwise strips)
1/2 cup dry sherry
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage (or 1 teaspoon dried)
One pound butternut squash (peeled, seeded, and sliced into 1/8 inch rounds)
One pound apples (I suggest McIntosh, Gala, or Macoun, peeled, cut in half, cored, and sliced 1/8 inch thick)
1 cup shredded fresh Parmesan cheese
Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium saute pan over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Add the leeks, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, and saute over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 - 12 minutes until they start to brown.
  • Stir in the sherry and fresh sage, and continue cooking for about another 3 minutes, until the sherry has reduced.
  • In a casserole dish (2 quart size preferably), lay all the butternut squash on the bottom. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on the squash.
  • Cover with the leeks.
  • Lay the apples on the leeks. If, unlike me, you have an actual apple corer, you can probably make these look waaaay prettier.
  • Brush the apples with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Sprinkle on the Parmesan.
  • Cover the dish with foil, and bake for 45 minutes, or until the apples and squash are easily pierced with a fork.
  • Increase the oven heat to 450 degrees. Uncover the dish, and bake for another 10 minutes or so, until top is nicely browned.
  • Let cool for 5-10 minutes.

I've made this gratin several times and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover apples and squash. The gratin is creamy and cheesy, and the apples and squash add a nice sweetness.

I made a few modifications to this recipe and it turned out great. I used a different type of cheese and I added some chopped walnuts. The gratin was creamy and flavorful, and the apples, squash, and walnuts added a nice crunch.

This was the worst gratin I have ever had. The flavors were all wrong and the texture was terrible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was a disappointment. The gratin was dry and bland. The apples and squash were not cooked through and the leeks were tough. I would not recommend this recipe.
