Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Dinner, Lunch

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 butternut squash
1 small garlic clove
2 tbsp olive oil
200g giant wholewheat couscous
small bunch of basil, roughly chopped
small bunch of parsley, roughly chopped
2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
100ml extra virgin olive oil
small pinch of sugar
1-2 lemons, juiced
2 red chicory, leaves separated
100g goat's cheese, sliced into rounds

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut the bulbous end from the squash, then halve, scoop out the seeds and cut into wedges (reserve the long neck of the squash for another recipe). Spread the squash wedges out in a roasting tin. Peel the garlic and toss this through the wedges along with some seasoning and the olive oil. Roast for 30 mins until the squash is tender.
  • Meanwhile, cook the couscous following pack instructions. Drain, return to the pan and leave to steam-dry. Tip the basil, parsley, pine nuts and half the extra virgin olive oil into a food processor with the sugar and some seasoning. Blitz to a coarse paste. With the motor running, drizzle in the remaining extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Season to taste, then toss with the couscous.
  • When the squash is tender, roughly mash the garlic clove and gently stir through the squash. Toss the wedges through the couscous with the chicory leaves and goat's cheese. Any leftovers will keep covered in the fridge for up to a day.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: For this recipe, butternut squash or kabocha squash are good options. They have a firm texture that holds up well to roasting.
  • Cut the squash evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not get as tender.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the squash, make sure to leave some space between the pieces so that they can roast evenly.
  • Roast the squash until it is tender: The squash should be tender enough to easily pierce with a fork.
  • Add the goat cheese at the end: The goat cheese will melt and become creamy when it is added to the hot squash. If you add it too early, it will melt too much and become runny.

Conclusion:

This roasted herbed squash with goat cheese is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover squash. The squash is roasted until it is tender and slightly caramelized, and the goat cheese adds a creamy and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
