    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Heat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. Cut the butternut squash in half lengthways and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Put the squash on a non-stick baking tray, cover with another baking tray and roast in the oven for 20-25 min or until the squash is soft, cooked through and slightly coloured.

    2 Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan. Add the onions and sweat over a low heat for 4-5 min until they are soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for a further 5 min. In a bowl, mix together the sundried tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, crumbled feta, basil and cooked onions to make a stuffing.

    3 Remove the butternut squash from the oven and scoop out some flesh so there is space for the stuffing. (Reserve the flesh for a future recipe such as making a hummus). Fill the squash with the stuffing mixture, then return to the oven and cook for a further 10 min.

    4 Steam the beans over a pan of boiling water for 4-5 min until tender – remember to keep the bite!

     

    Serving suggestion

    Serve the butternut squash hot from the oven with the green beans.
