This easy gratin uses Ocado Own Range butternut squash to make a delicious weeknight dinner. It’s full of flavour and is really easy to prepare, making it a wonderful vegetarian dish the whole family will enjoy. The recipe uses the skin of the squash for extra earthy flavour and less prep (and waste). This is a versatile recipe too, so feel free to swap out sage for another herb like rosemary or thyme. Gratin is a French culinary technique in which an ingredient is topped with a browned crust, often using breadcrumbs, grated cheese, egg or butter. The word gratin comes from the French word, ‘gratter’ meaning to grate.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 leek, washed and finely sliced
  • 1 handful sage, finely chopped
  • 800g tinned butter beans
  • 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • 300ml single cream
  • 1 butternut squash, cut into ½ cm thick slices
  • 150g mature cheddar, grated

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C fan / gas 6. Place a saucepan over a medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the leek and sage and sweat down for 5 mins until soft and golden.

Step 2

Drain both tins of butter beans and add to the leeks along with the mustard and cream. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a large oven dish, spread a layer of squash, followed by half of the butterbean mix and roughly a third of the grated cheddar.

Step 4

Repeat with a second layer of squash, butterbeans and cheese, then a final layer of squash and the remaining cheese.

Step 5

Place into the oven for 40 minutes until the squash is tender and the cheese is golden brown. Allow to rest for 5 mins before serving.
