Looking for quick, easy recipes? With healthy, seasonal ingredients?
Winter squashes are every where: acorn, butternut, pumpkin, and more. It's easy to slice fresh pumpkin and roast it. Even easier is to use already cooked fresh pumpkin (from a can / tin) and make a gratin....

But if this is what you are looking for - here's the recipe:Pumpkin Gratin
Total time: 45 minutes
This could be made with butternut squash that has been steamed and mashed. I used fresh pumpkin that had been baked earlier this fall and frozen. Canned pumpkin works perfectly. It doesn't need to be puréed but it should be very soft and mashed.
Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 - 2 cups pumpkin, 428gr, 15oz
- 1 whole egg or 2 egg whites, 65gr, 2.3oz whole egg
- 1 leek, 80gr, 2.8oz
- 1 tsp olive oil, 4.5gr, .16oz
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, plain yogurt, 75gr, 2.6oz Greek
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 20gr, .7oz
- 1/2 tsp sage
- 1/2 tsp marjoram
- 1 tbs dried bread crumbs, 7gr, .25oz
- 1 tbs olive oil, 13.5gr, .48oz
Instructions:
- Cook squash or pumpkin if using fresh.
- Thinly slice leek.
- In medium nonstick skillet sauté leek in olive oil over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes.
- In medium bowl whisk eggs well.
- Add yogurt, 2 tbs Parmesan and herbs. Mix well.
- Add pumpkin and leeks, mix well.
- Pour into a lightly oiled, glass baking dish ( I use 7" (17cm) square ).
- Sprinkle the top with remaining cheese and bread crumbs.
- Drizzle with remaining oil
- Bake at 200C (400F) for 30 minutes or until top is set and golden brown. Remove and serve.
Note: This serves 4.

Nutrition Information |
General Technical Details and Disclaimer:
Measurements are actual measurements used for calculation. If there are no values the nutritional numbers were simply too small.
I try to be accurate, but I do not guarantee it. I use 'grams' as the unit of weight; with an approximate conversion to ounces.
My information comes from my own digital, computerized scale and the USDA Nutrient Data Library: http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/
The fine print:
The recipes do NOT use processed foods, with the exception of- canned (tinned) tomatoes and sauce in winter (or use your own from the freezer)
- red and white kidney beans, chickpeas (or use dried and cook earlier)
- tuna, olives, capers, mustard, ketchup and other condiments
- occasionally other items... puff pastry, pimientos, etc.
- Great for the wonderful (organic) produce from your CSA - or your own garden
Most recipes are designed for 2 servings, but are easily increased to 4... or 6.... or 8...
Naturally, whether or not the serving size suits you
depends on appetite, activity level, and all sorts of stuff we know nothing about.
