What food will go with...

[hulababy]

...gratin of butternut squash.

I have a butternut squash to use up and really fancied the sound of the gratin of butternut squash on the back of my invoice for the veg box. So have that ready to go in oven.

But what shall I serve with it - for me, bearing in mind I haven't defrosted anything and I don't eat meat?

hmmm - a herb rice/risotto type accompaniment?

No rissotto rice in - used it all up at weekend.

I have normal rice. I have lots of veg and salad too.

Have you got some turmeric, some cinnamon, some sultanas, cardamom pods and fennel seeds?

I would do a tomato based spicy vegetable rice thing along the lines of a biryani/pilaf thingy.
ie put uncooked rice and chopped veggies into a casserole dish with lots of herbs and spices and a tin of chopped tomatoes, cover and cook in the oven for about 40mins-hour.

Or mash

I have turmeric, cinnamon, and fennel seeds only.

A bit of stock too btw.

somethign ratatouille-y like?

Oh and need to eat about 6:3-6:45.

Don't do spicy, but easy enough for me to miss spicy hot stuff out.

No tinned tomatoes - have fresh though.

Thats a no go then.

Have you any spinach or greens?

What about lentils?

No lentils.

No greens oddly. None came in veg box 0 have potatoes, carrots, onion, leek, tomatoes, lamb's lettuce, cucumber, peppers, sprouts, butternut squash, avocado, broccoli and mushroom.

it might be easier to work the other way

what do you have in your cupboard/fridge?

Stir fry veg?

x-posts

LOL! I know. I should have planned this better, shouldn't I?

Have egg, cheese, rice, pasta, veg, salad, potatoes, bread, various herbs/spices (dried), passatta, ....and then frozen fish/quorn.

Okay - im thinking the gratin is causing a hinderence here

Yes, I think I should have planned in advance this time. Might just eat the gratin with a crusty bagette now!!! Thanks for ideas - will try some other ideas next time
