2025-12-30
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash
- 250g feta cheese
- Pomegranate seeded (or box of pre-prepared pomegranate seeds)
- 25g Pine nuts
- A small bunch of dill
- A small bunch of mint
- Plain Greek yoghurt
Method
- Preheat oven to 160 °C Fan (gas mark 4).
- Chop butternut squash in two, remove seeds, and make deep cuts through the flesh.
- Roast the butternut squash face-down in the oven on a sheet of greaseproof paper for 40 minutes, or until the insides are soft.
- While the squash is roasting, dice feta cheese, finely chop dill, and toast pine nuts in a dry frying pan.
- Add all three to a large mixing bowl along with the pomegranate seeds.
- Season the mix with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
- Once the butternut squash has cooked, carefully scoop out the flesh from the case. Try not to tear the skin of the squash.
- Combine the flesh with the cheese and herb mix and mix thoroughly.
- Put the mix back inside the butternut squash shells, and return to the oven face-up to roast for a further 10-15 minutes (or until the tips of the feta cheese cubes begin to brown)
- Meanwhile, combine a generous serving of plain Greek yoghurt with finely chopped mint.
- When the cheese is roasted, serve with a side dish of yoghurt.
