“Garden To Table” Butternut Mash Too Kale Strata

Each summertime I similar to characteristic our fresh garden vegetables together with fruits inwards recipes posted on SRFD.   In this uniquely wonderful recipe I used fresh picked kale together with thyme from the garden, together with a homemade Baguette  frozen concluding week.  I didn’t grow the butternut crush but may hand it a endeavour for a autumn crop.

When harvesting kale cutting off the leaves that are bigger than your palm using abrupt scissors.  New leaves volition grow from the centre for to a greater extent than groovy recipes to come!

There is nada similar fresh garden vegetables.  If you lot accept a piffling infinite inwards your garden, hold upwards certain to constitute kale.  It’s been rattling tardily to grow together with hasn’t had whatever problems amongst pests.

 Butternut crush is 1 of my all fourth dimension favorites.  This was a 3 pound crush earlier it was peeled, seeded together with diced.  Butternut crush tin vary dramatically inwards size.  One 24-hour interval you lot mightiness abide by a squeamish modest 2 pound crush together with the rattling adjacent calendar week all you lot tin abide by is giant honker squashes weighing inwards at over 3 pounds.   Exact measurements are non necessary.

Red onions are too inwards our garden but are non ready to harvest.  I actually promise they come upwards out of the soil looking similar these!

Slice a baguette into 1-inch pieces together with combine amongst the oven roasted squash, sauteed onions together with kale.

Add beaten eggs to the cooled bechamel together with pour it over the vegetables.  A bechamel is a white sauce made amongst butter, milk together with flour.  This recipe made plenty for 2 casseroles.  I sent 1 over to our son’s solid downward the street thence all they had to produce was popular it inwards the oven.  This would hold upwards perfect made a 24-hour interval ahead together with baked early on for a morn breakfast gathering.  Maybe a large grouping on opor-garai at the beach?  Yum!

It’s fifty-fifty groovy leftover – equally my hubby volition say you lot since he ate it for tiffin several days this week.

Sprinkled amongst a piffling Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese – this hardy casserole is pretty together with filling!

I similar mine amongst a piffling hot sauce – delicious!
