What to do with a Butternut Squash
I've been looking for a recipe online..What is it with the americans and marrow/squash type veggies...all they can suggest is to add maple syrup or brown sugar and butter to it...Yuk!
I want a savoury recipe that isn't soup and isn't too complicated.Something along the lines of stuffed marrow but vegetarian...Anyone got any suggestions?

Re: What to do with a Butternut Squash
Bearing in mind it's me, and the only thing I use our oven for is to heat up pizzas (  ), I dunno how complicated this actually is, but it's a recipe for a risotto type thing:

Some good ideas there...I may try the swede idea when I've got more familiar with it...the family are pretty choosy and I have to try stuff out FIRST...I'm my own guinea pig.

Re: What to do with a Butternut Squash
Mrs T cooked some once, we had them stuffed with something-or-other. All I can say is if it weren't for the something-or-other, dinner would have been pretty tasteless. Butternut squash is not an exciting vegetable.
That said, we have a couple in the house at the moment. They're for an Annabel Karmel recipe for Jr T number 2 though. She started weaning this week (at age six months, as advised by WHO), and she's loving it.

Re: What to do with a Butternut Squash
As a side dish... Cut into cubes. Sprinkle with sea-salt and olive oil. Roast in a hot oven until the corners begin to char. Yum!
They are hideously bland if boiled or steamed.

Re: What to do with a Butternut Squash
if it a 'firm one' cut into 'skinny chips' about an inch long, flash fry and serve sprinkled with sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper
