Sorry for the blogging hiatus. It's Mums 60th Birthday today (we sent her and Dad off to Berlin last week which they thoroughly enjoyed) so for the last few days I've been busy preparing a family meal - which includes this utterly divine cheesy squash gratin. The gratin is the perfect partner to Roast Chicken, or it could be served as a stand alone Vegetarian meal with a side salad. Either way, you can't beat the cheesy creamy sauce that oozes and bubbles all over the slices of squash.
Ingredients:
2 Butternut Squash, peeled, deseeded and cut into 5mm slices2 Cloves of Garlic, crushed
250ml Double Cream
100g Parmesan, grated
Plenty of salt and pepper
Method:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180c/160fan/Gas 4.
Step 2: In an ovenproof dish (about 1.5l) layer up the slices of squash and season.
Step 3: In a saucepan bring the cream and the crushed garlic to the boil then pour over the squash. Sprinkle over the Parmesan.
Step 4: Bake for 1 hour (cover with foil if it starts to brown too much on top).
