SQUASH
CASSEROLE
This is a comfort-food squash
casserole. I think some people may prefer this to cauli-mash. I used mild curry, so it is barely detectable
as curry. Squash is very inexpensive in the tropics and often I actually do prefer a squash casserole to cauli-mash (unless it is loaded cauli-mash, but then it is usually quite calorific as well.). This is low in calories and carbs. Hey, that's pretty good for a veggie side. Here is another squash casserole that I enjoy. (Click highlighted text for the recipe)
3.5 lbs ayote squash, OR (1.6 kg)
butternut squash (mine was already halved)
2 eggs
1/2 cup
coconut milk (125 mL)
Sweetener to equal 2 tsp
sugar* (10 mL)
11/2 tsp curry powder (7 mL)
1/2 tsp
salt (2 mL)
1/4 tsp
black pepper (1 mL)
1 tbsp desiccated coconut,
(15 mL)
(unsweetened)
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
In large pot, in boiling water, cook squash until
soft to the tip of a paring knife.
Remove from water and allow to cool.
Remove skin and place in food processor bowl with sharp blade. Process until smooth.
In medium bowl, beat eggs with a fork. Stir in coconut milk, sweetener, curry
powder, salt and pepper. Add to squash
and process until smooth. Pour into a
1-qt casserole dish (1 L) and smooth the top.
Sprinkle with coconut.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until set.
Helpful Hint: *The
sweetener is there to balance flavors, but you can leave it out, if desired.
