Recipe of the Month

Mediterranean Stuffed Butternut Squash

Ingredients

1 butternut squash
2tbsp olive oil
handful of fresh thyme
salt and pepper

For the filling

1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 red onion, finely chopped
150g mushrooms*, finely chopped
6 sundried tomatoes, finely chopped
50g black olives
100g cooked Loprofin rice
50g Violife cheese**
Handful of fresh thyme
salt and pepper

Method

1. Pre heat the oven to 200C.

2. Cut the butternut squash in half. Scrape out the flesh and remove the seeds. Using a knife create a channel in the butternut squash halves so that you can fill them with the rice filling.

3. Drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with fresh thyme and season with salt and pepper.

4. Roast the butternut squash halves in the oven for 40 minutes or until soft.

5. Now prepare the filling: Heat the olive oil in a pan, sauté the garlic and onion until soft.

6. Add the mushrooms*, sundried tomatoes, olives and cooked Loprofin Rice to the onions mix and fry for a further 5 minutes.

7. Season with fresh thyme, salt and pepper.

8. Remove the butternut squash halves from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes.

9. Fill the butternut squash halves with the rice filling.

10. Sprinkle with the low protein cheese* and fresh thyme.

11. Drizzle with some olive oil and bake in the oven for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese melts and the butternut squash is tender.

12. Slice the butter nut squash length ways to serve.

Serving Suggestion:

This dish goes really well with steamed green vegetables or a fresh green salad. Sprinkle with some pomegranate seeds to add a pop of colour.

* This vegetable, if taken in large amounts, adds a significant amount of protein to the diet and needs to be counted as part of your exchanges

** Check the protein content on the food label
