Best Butternut Squash Recipes

[frenchfancy]

I've just harvested our butternuts, and I've got 20 monsters to last me through the winter.

Tonight we are having Butternut macaroni cheese and I've just made Butternut and Harissa Houmous with the rest of the roasted squash (which is completely delicious by the way)

Would love to hear your favourites.

No suggestions I'm afraid but watching!

Roast butternut squash, blue cheese, cooked gnocchi and some wilted spinach.

Mix, bake.

Jamie Oliver's squash, chickpea and spinach curry. Sometimes when I make it I leave out the chili and add a tin of coconut milk.

Butternut squash risotto (roast the squash and add it at the end).

Black bean and butternut squash tacos it's a naturally Ella recipe and very yummy

Butternut squash and chorizo soup - Jamie Oliver recipe. Or bns and peanut soup - high fw recipe.

Love bns in soup.

Also I cut in half and bake. Scoop out middle and fill with rice cooked in lamb stock mixed with lamb mince fried off with ras el hanout (sp). Fill the skins and bake for 10 mins. There is always some that won't fit in the skin and that's nice the next day as a sort of morrocan rice dish. Yum

Butternut Squash, caramelised onions, feta & chilli fritatta
Not really an exact recipe but; slice and steam squash. Then caramelise onions in a large frying pan, then add layered squash with seasoning to taste between layers. Pour over whisked eggs (I use 8-10 depending on size) and sprinkle over feta and chilli flakes. Cook on low-medium in the frying pan for about 8mins then finish the top side under the grill. Delicious!! Also very good cold in packed lunches.

Brilliant - keep them coming.

I think I'll try Chardonnay's Gnocchi next.

Hope you like it.

BNS falafel
I love butternut squash, I'll be back with more recipes.

There was an easy ottokenght in the guardian a couple of weeks ago, bns and goats cheese tart suoerceasy and super yum!

Nigella does a scrummy butternut and blue cheese pasta dish in Kitchen.

I just make them into curry, along with tomatoes and chickpeas. I find I need something to cut through the sweetness, and its made me wonder if I should try using butternuts on a sweet pastry base as a pud (rather like pumpkin pie) Hmm.

I once had BNS cookies and they were amazing. I've never found a recipe though, so if anyone has a recipe ....

Just popping in to say we have a lot of lovely squash and pumpkin recipes here if you're interested.

Oooh you're lucky I love them. Do you or the other pps know that you can just bake them whole (with a few steam holes and brushed with oil) then use them for anything you like. Don't bake too long if you want to go on to cook them, in other ways.

It saves all that hard cutting.

Ooh that is useful info! Hope long roughly would you bake it prior to cutting up for roasting?

Well if you want to cut off a bit to continue to roast, then just stick a sharp knife in , if it goes in too easily it's more than ready!! So just before it goes in easily IYSWIM

If it's very fresh it will take less time.

Apparently you can just stick them whole into the slow cooker for 4 hours. no need to add liquid. I haven't tried it yet - and most of mine are too big to go in anyway.
