2010 Baked Stuffed Butternut Squash

Created by Rozanne Stevens
Ingredients:
2 small butternut squash
400g baby spinach leaves
3 tablespoons of sunblush tomatoes*, cut in half
100g feta cheese
100g chorizo sausage, diced
1 tin of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Salt and pepper

Method:
  1. Wrap the butternut squash in foil and bake in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes at 180°C until tender. Check by prodding with a dinner knife.
  2. Fry the chorizo until crispy; add the chickpeas, sunblush tomatoes and spinach and heat through until the spinach wilts. Season.
  3. Slice the butternut squash in half. Scrape out all the seeds very well.
  4. Spoon in the filling and sprinkle with feta cheese.

* sundried tomatoes can be used which are available in all supermarkets and are a cheaper alternative. Fresh tomatoes can also be used but will be quite watery.
