From The Roasting Tin around the World by Rukmini Iyer
Ingredients
500g butternut squash, peeled and very thinly sliced
1 leek, thinly sliced
8 fresh sage leaves
1 tsp sea salt flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
350g creme fraiche
150ml vegetable stock
30g parmesan, grated
15g fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
30g flaked almonds, roughly chopped.
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180C fan/200C/gas 6
2. Mix squash, leek, sage, sea salt and paper in a roasting tin.
3. Spread creme fraiche over the top. Pour over the stock and smooth down with a spoon.
4. Bake for 1 hour
5. Mix remaining ingredients. After 45 minutes, remove tin from oven, and scatter over the parmesan mixture.
6. Return to the oven for 15 minutes until the squash is cooked through and the topping is crisp.
Changes, Mistakes and Substitutions
Not many for this one. I took a few short-cuts like buying pre-sliced butternut squash and I didn't both chopping the flaked almonds.
Verdict
A definite thumbs up for this. We will make it again. This entry was originally posted at https://purplecat.dreamwidth.org/802313.html.
