An easy and delicious side dish. I usually serve it with roast pork or turkey. I found this on the website for a regional farmer's market association.
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 pounds butternut, buttercup, or banana squash shopping list
- 1 large onion, sliced and separated into rings (1 cup) shopping list
- 1 tablespoon butter or margarine shopping list
- 1 cup thinly sliced, peeled pear (1 medium) shopping list
- 3 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs shopping list
- 3 slices bacon, crisp-cooked, drained, and crumbled shopping list
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts shopping list
- 1 tablespoon grated romano cheese shopping list
- 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted shopping list
- 2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley (optional) shopping list
How to make it
- Peel squash; slice crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. (If using butternut squash, first cut the squash in half lengthwise.) Remove and discard seeds from squash. Set squash aside.
- Cook onion rings in the 1 tablespoon hot butter for 5 to 10 minutes or until tender.
- Arrange half of the squash slices in the bottom of an 8x8x2-inch baking dish. Top with half of the pear slices. Repeat layers. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Cover with the cooked onions.
- Bake, covered, in a 350°F oven about 45 minutes or until nearly tender.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine bread crumbs, bacon, walnuts, Romano cheese, and the 1 tablespoon melted butter; sprinkle over vegetables. Bake, uncovered, about 15 minutes more or until squash is tender. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.
