Ingredients
-
1
large/1.5kg butternnut squash
-
1-2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
-
3
cloves garlic, skin on
-
2
tins butter beans
-
1/2 teaspoon
winter savour or thyme
-
1
knob butter
-
1 splash
milk, optional
-
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
-
Peel, deseed and roughly cut the butternut squash into 2-3cm cubes.
-
In a large baking tray, arrange the squash into a single layer (I had to use two trays). Add the garlic cloves, season with salt and pepper then coat evenly with the vegetable oil.
-
Roast for 40-45 minutes until golden. Remember to turn the squash halfway through the cooking process
-
While the squash is roasting, melt a knob of butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the beans, winter savoury and heat through gently for about 4-5 minutes. Set aside.
-
In food processor, whizz the squash, garlic, and beans together. Add a splash of milk to loosen the mixture to the desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve immediately or prep the night before and it will heat up brilliantly in the microwave for the next day.
