– Butternut squash: 700 g
– Chopped walnuts: 50 g
– All-purpose flour: 100 g

1. Prepare the squash and walnuts
Use a mandoline to cut the butternut into very thin slices. Roughly chop the walnuts with a knife.
2. Assemble
Fold the butternut slices and about two-thirds of the chopped walnuts into the batter, tossing gently so each slice is coated. Line a round pie or tart pan with parchment paper (this makes unmolding much easier). Pour the mixture into the pan. Use the back of a spoon to press and compact the slices so they form even, flat horizontal layers.
Baking
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes at 180°C (about 350°F).
