  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3.5 oz mushrooms white button, cremini or even shiitake
  • 3 shallots
  • 1 large garlic clove

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Cut butternut: Cut the long part of the butternut squash and remove the peel. Slice the squash into slices about 1,5 cm/ 0.6 inches thick. Place them on a lightly oiled baking tray. Brush them with olive oil, sprinkle them with salt and pepper and bake for about 20 minutes or until soft.
  3. Chop: In the meantime, clean the mushrooms and chop them finely. Mix them with a few drops of lemon juice. Chop the shallots and the garlic clove very finely as well. Add them to the mushrooms.
  4. Sautee: Heat 2 teaspoons of the butter in a small pan and lightly braise the mushroom-shallot mixture. Remove from the heat and stir in the finely chopped parsley and the lemon zest. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Increase the heat of the oven to 225 degrees Celsius/ 440 degrees Fahrenheit.
  6. Top the butternut squash slices with the mushroom-shallot mixture. Mix the freshly grated Parmesan with the panko breadcrumbs and divide this mixture on top of the squash slices as well. Top with tiny dots of the remaining teaspoon butter.
  7. Bake for about 8 minutes or until nicely golden.
  8. Serve hot with green salad or cold on bread or in a tortilla, optionally topped with sour cream.
