- butternut, halved lengthways and de-seeded
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red chilli, de-seeded and finely chopped
- 300g bag of baby spinach
- Juice of 1⁄2 lemon
- 100g goat’s cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cut off the long halves of each butternut and put the round halves on a baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and roast for 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel the remaining squash and cut into cubes. Heat the remaining oil and fry the cubed squash with the chilli for 5-10 minutes, until tender. Stir in the spinach until wilted and season well.
Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, cheese and pumpkin seeds. Remove the squash from the oven and preheat the grill to medium. Fill the butternut with the spinach mixture and grill for 5 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
