Hi I'm looking for exceptional recipes that you can't recommend highly enough. My favourite is a butternut squash salad that i feel everyone should know about... great with bbq, or as an accompaniment to roast chicken, steaks or grilled fish. It's a show stopper that never fails to please and I never seem to grow tired of. (Credit goes to Irish singer Lisa Hannigan, the recipe is not my own)
INGREDIENTS 1 butternut squash 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon smoked paprika A good pinch of cayenne 1 tablespoon olive oil Big handful of puy lentils, rinsed A big bowl of baby spinach and rocket Half a packet of feta, crumbled A small handful of pumpkin seeds
DRESSING 1 shallot chopped finely 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar Handful of fresh mint, chopped finely 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon mustard 1/2 teaspoon sugar Salt, pepper
METHOD Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Halve and peel the butternut squash, scoop out the seeds and chop into inch-sized chunks. In a roasting tray, toss the squash with the cumin, paprika, cayenne and oil. Roast in oven for about 45 minutes, taking them out half way through to mix about a bit While that’s cooking, cover the lentils in water and boil for 20-25 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Whisk all the dressing ingredients together and set aside. In a big serving dish, mix the salad leaves, the lentils, the crumbled feta, the warm roasted squash and toss in the dressing. Garnish with a sprinkling of pumpkin seeds
