This is a Pattypan squash also known as scallop squash, sunburst squash, granny squash, custard marrow and custard squash. Normally have a more scalloped edge, but this one grew in the same place as the ones I grew last year, maybe I’ve accidentally made my own squash!
I came up with this idea of a………………..well I’m not sure what, a snack, apero? Try it, you might like it.
I Pattypan
Garlic
Emmenthal cheese
Sea salt
Black Pepper
Butter
Cut around the skin on top of the squash to make a lid,
Clean the seeds out of the squash, put them onto kitchen paper and place on a window sill to dry for planting next year.
Put all the ingredients into the squash “bowl”
Wrap in foil and bake in a the oven at 180°c for 45 minutes, you can then open the bowl and dip chunks of baguette in the garlic butter (naughty I know) then scoop the squash out with the cheese and eat., delicious.
Very interesting recipe and looks good. Will try soon!
