SAVORY BUTTERNUT SQUASH GRATIN image

Yield 3-4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large butternut squash (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled, seeded and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 cup low-sodium vegetable stock
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
sale & pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the squash: Cut off and discard the stem of squash. Divide squash into two pieces by slicing through it horizontally. Peel each half with a sharp knife. Using a spoon, scoop out seeds. Then cut squash into 3/4 inch pieces, using a knife. Place squash slices in large saucepan, cover them with water and bring to a boil. Cook over high heat for 2 minutes then drain in a colander. Pour a thin layer of vegetable stock on the bottom of a 9 x 12 baking dish and alternate layers of squash and Gruyere, saving some cheese for the top. Add s&p to taste. Top with remaining veggie stock and bake 30 minutes. Remove from oven and add remaining cheese. Continue baking until cheese melts and slightly browns, about 10 minutes.
