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.

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.

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 AND POTATO GRATIN



Winter Squash and Potato Gratin image

This savory casserole is an almost classic gratin dauphinois (potatoes au gratin), with squash standing in for half of the potatoes and low-fat milk substituting for cream. It is a very comforting dish that can be baked ahead and reheated.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     casseroles

Time 2h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large garlic clove, cut in half
1 1/4 pounds russet potatoes or Yukon golds (or add purple potatoes to the mix), scrubbed, peeled if desired and sliced about 1/4 inch thick
1 1/4 pounds winter squash, such as butternut, peeled and sliced about 1/4 inch thick
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 cup, tightly packed, grated Gruyère cheese (4 ounces)
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper
2-1/2 cups low-fat milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Rub the inside of a 2-quart gratin dish or baking dish with the cut side of the garlic, and lightly oil with olive oil or butter. Slice any garlic that remains and toss with the potatoes, squash, thyme, rosemary, half the cheese and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Arrange in an even layer in the gratin dish.
  • Pour the milk over the potatoes and squash, and press the vegetables down into the milk. Place in the oven, and bake one hour. Every 20 minutes, remove the gratin dish and press the potatoes and squash down into the liquid with the back of a large spoon. After one hour, sprinkle on the remaining cheese and bake for another 30 minutes, until the top is golden and the sides crusty. Remove from the oven, and allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Serve hot or warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for sugar pumpkins, butternut squash, or kabocha squash that are firm and heavy for their size.
  • Roast the squash before mashing it: Roasting brings out the squash's natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs: Rosemary is the classic herb for winter squash, but you can also use thyme, sage, or marjoram.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The squash should be tender but still hold its shape.
  • Serve the casserole warm: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Winter squash casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover squash, and it's also a perfect side dish for a holiday meal. With its creamy texture and sweet, savory flavor, this casserole is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
