Butternut squash?????

less sweet if split, stuffed and baked. I stuffed one with a mixture of chopped cooked portobello mushrooms, garlic and blue cheese yesterday, with a cheese/thyme/breadcrumb topping - baked for 40 minutes and it was lovely. Can also stuff with a rice based mixture too.

thats sounds lovely - I too bought one at Aldis this week - might try this for my tea but with cheddar as I dont like blue cheese. Thanks for the idea!:T

I like to roast it with olive oil and cinnamon spinkled on top - gives a sweet flavour to it

My butternut squash soup always tasted like baby food, until I made Gary Rhodes butternut soup with orange, it's delicious.

I am roasting some tonight with sage, red onion and goats cheese. It's nice with a green salad.

i made it into orzotto (like risotto but made with pearl barley) and blue cheese - though the recipe said to use mascapone but I didn't have any. Its easier than risoot as yiou add the liquid in one go and simmer rather than add and stir a bit at a time.

butternut squash and stilton risotto, I dont like stilton but love this rissotto!
Sliced thinly and fried into "crisps" is good too. Or just halved, de seeded and roasted with anything "stuffed" into it, ie, veggies, cous cous whatever

Sounds like heaven as I love both butternut squash & stilton. :j

I tried to make soup with it and my kids absolutely hated the taste :mad: now i am left with 1/ & 1/2 large ones and havent got a clue how to cook it or hide the flavour in a recipe. Does anyone have any easy ideas as i dont really want to bin it. If all else fails i will hope the birds will eat it :rotfl:

You can peel, grate and freeze in portions. That can then be added to casseroles and pasta sauce

You can roast it with olive oil, cumin and chili [adults only, more or less].

I usually chop up one and add it to anything that is 'saucy' - add it after the onions are cooked and cook it down well with the sauce and it cooks down nicely, helping to bulk up all manner of dishes.

Just found this thread with lots more ideas; I'll merge this later.
