Title: Stuffed butternut squash
Post by: peanuts on December 04, 2011, 15:35:34
Can't have Gazza posting the only nice recipes with photos!  Here's what I made for our lunch today.  I cut the squash downwards, but off centre so  had more than half of it to stuff.  Removed the seeds (and kept some of course), and hollowed out the upper part to some extent to make room for the stuffing.
Stuffing I made with a mix of good pork sausages with quite coarsely minced pork, plus seasoning, minced onion, cumin and coriander, or any spices you want.  Stuffed the hollow, rounding it up. Drizzled a little olive oil over. You could easily use other meat,  minced chicken/lamb for example.

Baked in oven 200ÂșC for  90 mins, covering with foil for the last 20 mins as it was browning. As it was quite a big squash, it could have done with a little more cooking perhaps or I could have done a smaller one.  I cut it in thick slices and the skin was paper thin by then and came off very easily.
Four of us didn't manage to eat it all! Served with halved potatoes, baked at the same time, with a sprinkling of salt, pepper, herbs and olive oil.

Baked an apple, blackberry and raspberry crumble at the same time!

Looks very tasty Peanuts,I had the same prob with marrows so now I skin the marrow/squash and let it rest on a trivet in the oven so the heat can get all around it,cooks through better that way,im always learning.... ;)

Yours is right up my street,nice and crispy with plenty of flavour.
