Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 butternut squash ( medium size)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 750 ml vegetable stock
- 1 tsp tahini
- 1 lemon ( zest and juice)
Instruction
- Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Bake at GM4/180°C/350°F for about 30 mins until soft. There's no need for a tray. Just put the squash cut side up on the oven shelf.
- While the squash bakes, peel and roughly chop the onion and garlic. Fry the onion in the oil in a deep pan for a few minutes, and then add the garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent and starting to turn golden brown.
- Remove the squash from the oven and discard the skin. Add to the pan along with the stock, tahini and lemon.
- Simmer for 5 mins, and blend in a food processor or with a stick blender.
- Serve piping hot, garnished with some chives, a sprinkle of chili flakes and season with salt and pepper to taste.
