This lil' squash gratin is perfect for all your winter evenings! It's super comforting. We ate this with some pan-fried smoked tofu on the side and it was perfect! I used the rest of the squash a few days later in a curry stew, with eggplants, sautéed diced tofu, and coconut milk!
Peel the squash, potatoes, and onion. Slice the squash and potatoes into thin slices and finely chop the onion. CAUTION: Do not place the peeled potatoes in water, as this will remove their starch and we need the starch to thicken the cream of the gratin!
In a small saucepan, heat the soy cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Once it starts to simmer, remove from heat.
In a gratin dish, pour the oil and spread it all around to grease the entire dish.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
Place a layer of squash slices, followed by a layer of potato slices, then some onion, and then repeat with more squash, potato, and onion layers... When you have used half of your vegetables, pour half of the cream/milk mixture over the top. Continue layering the squash, potato, and onion until you have used all the ingredients. When everything is in place, pour the remaining cream/milk mixture over the top!
Bake for one hour. The vegetables should be very tender and the liquid should have thickened due to the potato starch, resulting in a creamy but not runny gratin!
