Squash Casserole
(from Stearns Farm Newsletter, September 15 2008)
Serve this sweet-spicy dish alongside robust greens, such as broccoli rabe, collards, or kale, sauteed in oil with a little garlic. Add sausage, a veggie burger, or other protein for a complete meal. Adapted from Pioneer Valley Growers Association.
1 large buttercup or 3 or 4 smaller squashed
2 Tbs brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 Tbs butter
1 Tbs fresh chives or green onions, chopped
additional nutmeg (optional)
Preheat oven to 350'F. Cut squash into quarters (or halves for smaller squash) and remove seeds. Place pieces cut-side-down on a baking sheet. Bake for 30-50 minutes until squash is tender. Cool. Grease a one-quart casserole dish. Scoop squash flesh from skin and mash with sugar, seasonings, and butter until well blended and fairly smooth. Spoon into casserole dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, until thoroughly heated. Before serving, sprinkle with chives and dust lightly with additional nutmeg, if desired. 3-4 servings.
