Butternut Squash Sage And Mozzarella Gratin Recipes

Steps:

• Peel the squash,cut into pieces and steam or boil until tender; mash with 1/2 T butter, there should be about 1 1/2 cups squash.
• Spread squash evenly into a small oiled casserole; sprinkle with cheese.
• Saute the onions in the remaining 1 T of butter until translucent; add bread crumbs, salt, pepper and sage and stir to combine.
• Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the cheese; bake at 325° for 25-30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a gratin baking dish with butter.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil in a large skillet over low heat; add onions and sage. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are browned, about 25 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add squash, cover, and steam until tender, 10 to 20 minutes. Transfer squash to prepared gratin dish; toss with garlic and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Add the caramelized onions to the pan and gently mix to combine.
• Warm cream in a saucepan over low heat; pour over squash mixture. Stir to coat. Combine bread crumbs and 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter together in a bowl; sprinkle over squash mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until gratin is bubbling and breadcrumbs are browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a gratin dish with butter. In a large skillet over low heat, melt the butter with the oil. Add the onions and the sage. Cover and cook over low heat while you prepare the squash.
• Put the squash in a steaming basket and set over simmering water. Cover and let steam until the squash is tender, about 10 minutes. Put the squash in the prepared dish with the garlic and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Toss gently to combine.
• Continue to cook the onions, stirring frequently, until they caramelize, about 25 minutes total. Season with salt and pepper and add them to the gratin dish, mixing them with the squash. Pour the warm cream over the vegetables. Toss the breadcrumbs with the melted butter and sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the gratin. Bake until the top is browned and bubbling, about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375F.
• Spray 11x7 1/2" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove seeds and peel.
• Slice each half crosswise into 1/2" thick slices.
• Place squash in single layer at 45-degree angle in baking dish.
• (The squash will be tightly packed.) Drizzle squash with oil.
• Sprinkle with sage, salt and pepper.
• Cover with foil.
• Bake 40 minutes or until squash is tender.
• Remove from oven; remove foil.
• Sprinkle with blue cheese and Gruyère cheese.
• Return to oven; bake an additional 1 minute or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Cut the peeled and seeded butternut squash into 1" cubes or chunks and place them in to a well buttered gratin dish. Season the butternut squash generously with black pepper and a little salt.
• Mix the grated parmesan cheese with the fresh bread crumbs, nuts and chopped thyme and then sprinkle over the top of the butternut squash.
• Dot the butter all over the cheese and nut topping.
• Bake it in a pre-heated oven, 200C/400F/Gas 6, for about 35 to 45 minutes, until the butternut squash is soft and the topping is golden brown.
• Serves 2 as a main course and 4 as a vegetable accompaniment.
• Serve piping hot with crusty bread and salad, if serving as a main course.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350°F.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until it softens and becomes translucent, about 30 seconds. Add the cream, thyme, 5 of the sage leaves, 2 teaspoons salt, and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let the sage infuse in the cream for 10 minutes. Then remove and discard the sage leaves.
• Generously butter an 8 by 8-inch baking dish and arrange one-third of the potatoes and one-third of the squash across the bottom, overlapping them slightly to make a relatively even layer. Pour one-third of the cream mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle with one-third of the cheese. Build 2 more layers in the same way; on the last layer, add the remaining potatoes and cream, then arrange the remaining 7 sage leaves decoratively over the top. Finally, sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
• Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue baking until the top is golden and a skewer goes into the potatoes with no resistance, about 30 minutes longer.
• Let rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 200°C. Halve the butternut squash lengthways (no need to peel!) and scoop out the seeds. Chop into 1cm cubes and lay on a baking tray. Drizzle over a little oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread out evenly and roast on the top shelf of your oven until soft and golden, 30-35 mins. TIP: Make sure the squash is cut nice and small or it'll take a little longer to cook.
• Halve, peel and chop the onion into ½cm pieces. Cut each chestnut mushroom into about five slices. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Pick the sage leaves from their stalks and finely chop (discard the stalks).
• Heat a glug of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the mushrooms until browned, 5-7 mins. Add the onion and cook until soft, 3-5 mins, then add the garlic and half the sage. Cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the crème fraîche, stock powder, water (see ingredients list for amount) and cavolo nero. Stir to dissolve the stock powder. Simmer until the cavolo nero has softened, 4-5 more mins. TIP: Add a splash of water if the mix looks a little too dry!
• Next, make the crumb. Pop the remaining sage in a small bowl with the panko breadcrumbs, cheese and olive oil (see ingredients for amount). Season with pepper. Preheat your grill to high.
• When the butternut is ready, remove from the oven and add it to the creamy veggies. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Transfer to an ovenproof dish and sprinkle over the cheesy crumb topping. Pop under the grill until golden brown and crunchy, 3-5 mins.
• Meanwhile, pop the baby leaves in a large bowl and drizzle over the olive oil (see ingredients for amount). Season with salt and pepper. Toss together. Serve the gratin on plates with the baby leaf salad on the side. Enjoy!
