This recipe came from the Alexander Estate in Garland, Texas in 1988. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from this estate. This is one that I have tried and love. Hope you do too. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley |
1 tablespoon caraway seeds lightly crushed |
1 tablespoon sesame seeds |
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme |
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh chives |
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary |
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint |
3 medium garlic cloves finely chopped |
finely grated zest of 2 lemons |
2 medium acorn squash |
2 medium butternut squash |
2 medium baking potatoes |
2 medium tomatoes |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon white pepper |
1 cup chicken stock |
1 cup heavy cream |
2 small garlic cloves finely chopped |
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh horseradish |
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme |
Directions:
1. Peel halve and seed the acorn squash and cut them crosswise into thick slices then set aside. Peel halve and seed butternut squash and cut them crosswise into thick slices then set aside. Peel and halve the potatoes and cut them into hick slices then set aside. Core the tomatoes and cut them into thick slices then set aside. Toss together bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, caraway seeds, sesame seeds, thyme, chives, rosemary, mint, garlic and lemon zest then reserve. Preheat oven to 325. Grease a 2-1/2 quart casserole. Starting and ending with acorn squash arrange the squashes, potatoes and tomatoes in alternating layers in the casserole lightly seasoning each layer with salt and pepper. In a medium saucepan gently simmer the chicken stock, cream, garlic, horseradish and thyme for 5 minutes then pour over the squash. Bake the casserole covered for 30 minutes then spread the crust evenly over the surface of the casserole and bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
