Pumpkin or Butternut Squash Tian

evelyn/athens's Note:

The pumpkin in this dish becomes almost molten. Barely held together by the flour it's been dredged in. Simply delicious!

I picked this recipe in dare!, and had it chosen, cooked, eaten and reviewed in 3 hours. That's because it's a simple recipe made with common (for our house) ingredients, but the taste was fantastic. I had 1kg of pumpkin which looked about half the 8 cups Evelyn asked for. It was a very generous serve for 4 people along with roasted potatoes, steamed veg and a roast shoulder of pork. We eat a lot of roasted pumpkin, but this recipe made it special.

My D oldest D who introduced me to RecipeZaar last year made this for me during a recent visit to her home. I have to say I thought the recipe sounded exotic or different! I've never had anything like this - it was so good! I think she followed the recipe exactly. I can't wait for pumpkins to come back into season. A keeper for sure! Thank you. And thank you DD.
