Passionate for plants..especially edible ones. Vegetable and herbs of all kinds find there way into my kitchen. The produce section, farmers market, is a world of color, shape, aroma and texture. Explore along with me as I experiment, ponder, taste and savor the foods of a vegetable lifestyle. I love having a herb and vegetable garden... and encourage anyone with a bit of land or a pot to try. Of course, these days you can't think of food or farming without considering being green or eco.

4 Squash Shepard's Pie (or dairy/eggless quiche) made with Cashew Cream.



Acorn, Butternut, Kabocha, Pumpkin

Ingredients:

4 squashes
5 potatoes
Raw Cashews
fresh sage
nutmeg
salt
pepper
olive oil
Pie crust
(I used organic ready made pie crusts)



 Peeled and cut into cubes and ready to roast.
Roast at 400 degrees until soft.






I also roasted potatoes (not shown)




Saute fresh sage in olive oil. Be careful not to burn it.




Add the roasted squash and potatoes. 
Salt and pepper to taste.






Fill the pie crust half way with the Cashew Cream sauce.


Cashew cream: Blend one cup of raw cashew with enough water to make a thick cream sauce. Add 2 tsp's of olive oil, salt, pepper and a bit of nutmeg.



Then place the squash mixture on top...it will sink in a little.


Cover with tin foil and pop some holes in the top.  Bake at 350 for 20 minutes then remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes.











For this one I sauteed another patch of squash but added the cashew cream directly into the squash.
