Creamy filled butternut squash

I love pumpkin - especially butternut squash! So easily done if roasted in the oven, but it will take some time, perfect to do some reading, yoga, meditation or watch one of your favorite series on netflix - while your butternut squash is getting ready!


Ingredients (for 2 servings):
  • 1 Butternut squash
  • 2 tbsp of Tahini
  • 2 garlic cloves (I used roasted garlic)
  • some veggie-stock
  • 1 tsp long pepper (or black pepper)
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp paprika powder
  • 1 tsp cardamom
  • 1 tsp fennel powder
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt
  • Some olive oil

Preparation:

  • Pre-heat your oven at 180° celsius 
  • Halve the butternut squash, scoop out the seeds and add a bit of salt and olive oil before roasting them in the oven for 50-60 mins
  • Take them out once they are ready, and scoop out  the flesh while keeping a 1 cm border around the sides 
  • Drizzle over a bit of olive oil and put the butternut squash  back in the oven, at reduced temperature, to keep them warm (110°)
  • Add the flesh to your blender, and add tahini, garlic, your spices and 0,5 dl of vegetable stock
  • Blend the mixture until you get a creamy consistency, give it a taste and add more spices if needed 
  • Take the butternut squash and plate them; now pour your cream into the butternut squash  
Serve with steamed veggies, in my case I used steamed kale with a bit of olive oil and salt - a perfect, light, healthy winter-dish!
