Butternut Squash, Spinach and Kale Gratin

[sukimom]

I was just wondering if you have to peel the squash before slicing?  Thanks!

This was great!  The only thing I did differently was add a layer of veggie shreds in the middle and one on top.  The squash and kale flavors were very complimentary.  I'll be making this one again!

OH yes, sorry about that. Yes you need to peel the squash first before slicing.

Deeelicious! The prep was easy enough but pretty extensive, I think the whole ordeal took about 2 1/2 hours, but it was worth it! Served over some potatoes... mmm mmm.

I was a little unsure about this recipe but something kept telling me to try it. So tonight i did. I was still unsure whilst preparing it...but i have to say that it was very very good. Real comfort food on these cold winter nights. I used 'light' soya milk so it didn't thicken as it should so next time i will use full soya milk.

Try this recipe...its a must. Thank you kmouse

Hello, lovely little recipe. Wear my photos and come into the ranks of popular recipes. You're worth it.

I used sweet potato instead of butternut (not in season), regular potato, spinach, and no kale (also not in season). I made a creamy sauce using cashews as a base. And lots of pepper and nutmeg innit. Good schtuff.

Oh, and I must say it was quicker and easier than I'd been expecting.

I substituted with acorn squash, which meant I didn't have the lovely squash-circle shapes going on. I also had no soy parm on hand. I don't think it came out quite like it was supposed to, since the creamy sauce didn't thicken up and just sort of puddled at the bottom of the pan (I think it was because I used light soymilk). The squash didn't brown up or anything either, and the veggies didn't bake together in the casserole-like way I expected.

All of  that said... It's absurdly delicious. My roommates won't try it on account of squashophobia, and so I'm left with the temptation to eat like half of the thing in one sitting. So thanks a bunch for posting! This is very likely to end up on my table on Xmas eve!

This recipe was a big hit! I loved it! I did not use soy parm. I substituted almond milk. It was great! One thing: Cut the butternut squash in THIN pieces. I cut them too thick and they didn't cook as well as they should have. I actually ended up yanking them out of there, steaming them for a bit, then reinserted them into and onto the casserole.    Bryan

We can't believe how good this is! We were kind of uncertain about kale but now kale is our friend! Our son commented 'this looks gross but it tastes really good'. The perfect way to get your green and orange veggie for the day in one swoop.

I made this again, now that it's kale and butternut season, and my kale was in critical condition - it HAD to be eaten.

Awesome. Yum yum yum.

I made a few changes... some potato as well as butternut, just kale - no spinach, more saucy with a bit of flour to thicken it, added dried  marjoram, and for the topping I blended together some cashews, nutritional yeast and breadcrumbs to make a sort of 'parmesan' sprinkle.
