Smashing pumpkins? Is that sort of like breaking bad? I guess that is only if you don't like pumpkins. No pumpkins were harmed in the making of the below recipe, I can guarantee that! We tried Delicata squash recently, in the form of a pie. This pie was also enhanced with maple syrup and a dash, or two of cardamom. I found these squash at the market one day and they stood out to my eye, so we just had to see what they are all about. While most of us still like pumpkin pie too, this was really nice!
Delicata Pie
Preheat oven to 400 deg.
1- 9", pastry-lined pie plate
2 Delicata squash, roasted and pureed
1 can condensed milk
1 egg
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 tbsp. maple syrup
1/2 tsbp. of each - ground - ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves
sm. pinch of salt
Mix well. pour into pie shell and bake for 10 mins. Then, turn the heat down to 350 for 30 mins. Cool.
All that is left for it, is a dollop (or quennelle) of whipped cream!
The seeds are rather good roasted, as well. They are more tender than most pumpkin seeds.
I soak mine in water for a bit and then drain, salt as desired, then slowly dry out in the oven and finally they will turn golden brown.
