Gluten Free Squash Casserole
This is kind of like a tart, except I did it in a baking pan instead of a tart dish, and used gluten-free bread crumbs for the base instead of doing a crust. We both absolutely loved this dish, and i will definitely be making it again!
Ingredients:
4 small Squash, diced (I used a small green local squash here that is pictured above and appears similar to the Eight Ball Squash in this squash glossary. Zucchini would be a great substitution, or a winter squash if you’re in the northern hemisphere right now)
1 Leek, sliced into circles
1 yellow Onion, diced
10 Mushrooms, sliced
4 Eggs, beaten
120 gm. Goat cheese, sliced thinly and separated into two parts
Bread crumbs (I used a chunk of gluten free bread I had baked and crumbled it into pieces)
1/3 cup Sesame seeds and mixed crushed seeds
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.
Saute the leek and onion in a saucepan, adding the mushrooms and then the squash once the onion starts to soften.
Crumble the bread in the bottom of the baking pan, then add half the sauteed mixture. Use half the goat cheese to make a thin layer, then top with the rest of the vegetables. Finish off with the second part of cheese and the seed mix. Pour the beaten eggs on top of everything and bake for 30 minutes.
Enjoy!
Hey just saw this and thought you might be interested. Looks like you’re living in the right country!

I was going to send it by twitter so not to post an off topic reply but I’m figuring twitter out!
Hey there! I just tweeted it myself. Thanks for the link. Seriously, I never would have guessed. I’m always so curious about all the other alternative flours I see in recipes from the UK and the US.
BTW, one of the best tools for Twitter (IMO) is the Hootlet by Hootsuite. You can add the link in your Firefox toolbar and it automatically shortens URLs, so you don’t have to shorten them separately with TinyURL.
I was surprised too but in a good way. More power to Argentina! Think I just need to mess around with twitter a bit till I get used to it, but no time! I’ll try that IMO thing though, thanks for the tip!
You’ll love Twitter once you get the hang of it. It can be addicting!
Zapallitos!. Anyway… How many americans made it to Argentina. In the last year I heard of too many. Kind of surprising to tell you the truth. I miss zapallitos… Zucchinis have too much water for my taste and I would rather wait and bring seeds to plant those zapallitos here. Usefull recipies…
Hi there Fabricio! I love zapallitos, but I’ve never seen anything like them in the US, so I have no clue what they’re called, or if they even exist. I also did a “pumpkin” pie made with zapallo that came out really well: http://zahirah.com/2009/11/06/fresh-pumpkin-pie/.
Looks like you live in LA? They’d probably grow well up there if you’ve got the space. GREAT photos of LA on your website…I haven’t been up there since I lived there, back in the 90′s. Good to see it again!
Yes they do grow in LA. So far what I know is that there are known in Italy as well. I get them from family that grows them here in Los Angeles but I noticed they don’t grow as juicy as in Argentina. I would have to do some experimenting myself. I hope you enjoy your stay in Argentina.
That makes sense that they’re grown in Italy. They probably came to Argentina from there. Strange that they don’t get as juicy in LA…CA has a great climate for growing vegetables.
Having a great time in Argentina! In July I’ll have been here for five years.
