What to do with Butternut Squash

[gscrym]

I bought one today. Have never tried it but what's a nice way to cook it.

Thanks

In soup, mashed, roasted. All delicious!

Butternut squash curry is nice too.

If you're doing a soup it needs lots of spice to go with it otherwise it is too bland.

Oh and in risotto it's nice too!

Chop into small pieces, roast with olive oil for 25 mins. Really brings out the flavour. Nice in risotto too.

Butternut squash rissotto is the dog's privates only much nicer

Thank you for the suggestions. Does anyone have a soup recipe?

I do a butternut squash and smoked bacon soup.
Cut Butternut squash in half and roast in oven until soft.
Fry a few rashers of smoked bacon with a chopped onion and crushed garlic, add a couple of chopped carrots (I sometimes add a chopped sweet potato as well), add 1 1/2 pts of chicken stock and simmer for about 1/2hr. Scoop out your butternut squash, add to soup, simmer for another 1/2 hour and then blend.
It is lovely.

That sounds gorgeous. I've got loads of bacon (god bless Lidl for their cooking bacon packs.) Will go give that a try.

One of my favs is roasted butternut squash and roasted potato served with fried onion and chopped sausage with creme fresh and a small amount of dijon mustard - delicious!!!

Butternut squash muffins here supposed to be a bit like carrot cake. Going to try them this week.

The soup was lush, thanks for the recipe. I was telling one of the other mums how good it was so she's going to make it this weekend.
