Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Rub the squash with a little oil, then roast them on a baking tray for 45 mins until soft.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan, then fry the onion for a few mins until soft. Stir in the chilli and cumin, fry for 1 min more, then add the mince, browning for 3-4 mins. Stir in the purée and beans with a splash of water and season. Warm through and keep warm. Or cool, freeze for up to 1 month, then defrost and reheat.

  • step 3

    Scoop a little of the soft squash flesh out to make a hollow, then stir this into the chilli with half the coriander. Fill the cavity of each squash with a quarter of the mix, then scatter with the remaining coriander. Dress the spinach with a drop more olive oil, season and serve alongside the squash.

My Husband didn't sound impressed when I said we were having butternut squash for dinner, but he soon changed his mind as soon as he tasted it! A couple alterations I made: I used Quorn mince, chilli powder and added some peppers for colour. Might have been really nice topped with a bit of grated…
