It 's all in the squash


Butternut Squash with honey and feta cheese

This lovely stuffed butternut squash recipe is simple and super tasty. Ingredients:
1 large butternut squash
2-3 garlic cloves chopped finely
olive oil
200g feta cheese
100 g chopped walnut halves
2 tbsp of runny honey

Wash and cut the squash in half. Scoop out the seeds and pour a bit of olive oil, add the garlic in the little holes and season. Bake for an hour until the flesh is soft but not too soft. Scoop the flesh and the garlic and olive oil mix out and put in a bowl. Leave about 1 cm thick of the outer layer of the squash. In the bowl add the feta cheese and the walnuts and season. Then spoon back into the halves and pour the honey on top. Bake for another 15-20 minutes. Serve with quinoa or plain rice. One big squash serves four.

Oh my goodness. This looks so amazing. I love the honey idea. Do you think it would be okay without cheese?

i ve never tried it without but i guess some smoked tofu will do the trick instead of cheese?
