HIYA ALL
really just looking for some ideas about what to do with half a roasted BNS
i roasted the whole thing for dinner but its just me who loves it and i usually end up freezing whats left and it eventually finds its way into some sort of soup lol but wondered if there is anything different i could do with it this time?

Have you got a cat?

The last time I cooked a butternut squash, there was a massive cat fight, all of my 3 cats fighting for the bit that fell on the floor, and then the dog jouned in. we shut them all outso we could eat. They ripped the compost bucket open to get the skins, and even next doors cat was trying to get in the compost bin. Yummy to cats I think.

I have to think carefully next time we have butternut, is the pain of the fight worth the taste.

My friend makes like a casserole with it, she cuts it into chunks adds carrots, leek, parsnips, swede and the usual veg, and roasts it slowly in oven. It did taste nice. She sometimes adds meat too.

Hope that is another idea to let the creative juices start to flow.

We barbequed ours and it is lovely

You can roast it like a sweet potato or mash it

PMSL at the cats:D - mine went nuts over trout, which is to be expected

You could cut it into chunks and put it into a rissotto, add it near the end of cooking time as being that its already cooked you only want it to warm through. We often have this at home and its yummy. We do a veg rissotto with some onion, peas, red pepper, BN squash and add small cubes of feta when its nearly done. A hefty dash of pepper once its on the plate - DELISH!!

Butternut squash soup is lovely, i use BNS, sweet potato, carrots, garlic and either fresh or tinned tomatoes!!! Roast in the oven for about 30 mins, add stock (whatever type you want) and a teaspoon of ginger and cook for another 15 mins, then blitz. (Adapted from a recipe on the recipe thread here, you could add any leftover veg you fancied really!!!)
