[karadekoolaid]

Ingredients:

2 butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and cut into 1" pieces
1 medium onion, cut into quarters
5 cloves garlic, left whole
good splash olive oil
1 tsp herbes de provence
2 tsps salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 egg, beaten
150 gms feta cheese, crumbled
1 pkt frozen puff pastry (or, even better, 12-16 sheets phyllo pastry)


Method:

• Heat the oven to 400F. Toss the squash, onion and garlic cloves with the olive oil, salt, pepper and herbs, and bake for 30 minutes. The squash should be tender.
• Remove the onion and dice. Remove the skin from the garlic cloves and mash.
• Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl, adding the beaten egg and crumbled feta, ensuring the cheese is well distributed.
• Line a baking dish with the pastry, tip in the contents of the bowl and cover with another piece of pastry.
• Bake at 400F for about 45 minutes.

The ingredients say "butternut squash," so why is it called "pumpkin pie?"

I think I'd prefer the taste of butternut squash for this savory dish.
