Butternut squash & chard gratin
Ingredients:
3 pounds butternut squash (about 2 medium), peeled, seeded, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
3 cups sliced red onions
2 bunches swiss chard, leaves and stems cut separately
1 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
1 small log soft fresh goat cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup hazelnuts (or walnuts) pulsed in a food processor
Method: toss prepared squash with melted butter and roast in oven at 350 until soft and brown. Meanwhile, caramelize onions in pan, and wilt the chard, allowing the stems to cook first. Layer squash with onion and squash mixture, pour cram over, then top with spoonfuls of cheese and sprinkle with nuts. Place in oven at 400 for about 10 minutes.
