Butternut squash

 

Butternut squash

First you get a very sharp knife and chop it up a bit I usually do about 1.5-2 inch chunks then chop off the skin and once you get to the seeds scoop these out and throw away.

Now you can make all sorts--

Try roasting it like potatoes with spray fry it taste slightly sweet and is a nice alternative to roast potatoes.

You can to***** in garlic and herbs or cajun spice to change the taste too. I like it roasted with parnishs, or small amount of potatoes, carrots, red onions and courgets with a few cherry tomatoes

Try

Boil with carrots and its a nice mash type dish

Add to onions, celery, carrotts and veggie stock for a nice soup

For a curry type dish add with califlower, to fryed onions, fresh mixed peppers and mushrooms then mix in some curry paste with a bit of stock or water and its a nice alternative to veggie curry.
If you don't make this too watery its nice in a pitta bread at lunchtime -- I found this out as using the leftovers up.
