Spanish Squash Tian Gratin
Be careful because this dish can create addiction!
During fall and winter, we are used to have a lot of pumpkin, butternut and squash at home, so you need to be creative sometime to cook it if you do not want to get bored!
This recipe is a pure creation, inspired from my beloved Spain and its delicious pork meat and the Netherlands. At the crossroad, you find me and my squash tian gratin!
Ingredients for 6 persons:
- 1.5 kgs of squash
- 250 grs of Brie cheese
- 100 grs. Sobrasada (you can find it easily in French and Dutch supermarkets)
- old bread slices
- 1 garlic clove
- Salt and pepper
1. Turn on the oven a 180ºC.
2. In a baking tray, spread some olive oil inside. Toast the bread and then crush the peeled garlic clove on it. Place this garlic bread in the bottom of the baking tray.
3. Open the squash, take off the seeds and fibres and peel it. Cut in slices.
4. Slice the brie and start to make rows of pumpkin and brie on top of the bread till you fill up the whole tray.
5. Spread on top some sobrasada paste, add salt and pepper and put in the oven for 20 minutes.
Be careful that the heat does not burn the top before the squash is done. If you see that the top is getting too brown, place an aluminium foil to cover it till the end of the cooking.
Serve it warm with some roasted meat or chicken. The mix of the sweet and soft squash with the strong sobrasada and the creamy brie cheese is just amazing!
If you never tried sobrasada, is pork paté made in Mallorca Island in Spain flavoured with paprika and spices. It has a strong taste nicely balanced with brie cheese.
Enjoy it and let me know what you thought about the recipe!
