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."

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.
