[Guest guest]

Haven't posted a recipe for a while, so I thought it was about time I did!This recipe is taken from my free recipe website at http://www.damefandango.com - please drop by and help yourself to any you fancy... vegetables | traffic light squash boats Serves 2 I discovered these whilst playing around with what to do with

leftover squash after the nude skewers. If you use the top part for

skewers, the bottom bulbous part with the seeds is ideal for this

recipe. The traffic light part comes from the mixture of colours which

struck me as I looked at the final meal! Wheat free, dairy free, nut free, meat free version... Ingredients... Half a butternut squash – the bulbous part, with seeds scooped out. 100ml cous cous 100ml water Tbsp sun dried tomatoes, finely chopped Handful of cherry tomatoes Red pepper, chopped into inch chunks.Salt and pepper Tbsp oil Optional: Red chilli finely chopped Method... Heat the oven to 170°C.

Cut the squash in half to make two `bowls' and roast for

20-30 minutes in the oven on a baking tray with the cherry tomatoes and

red pepper – drizzle all with oil and coat well. 10 minutes before serving, pour boiling water on the

cous cous, stir in a little salt and leave to stand. When ready, add

the sun dried tomatoes and red pepper and cherry tomatoes and any juice

from baking tray. Season with more salt and pepper to taste. Place squash bowl on plate and fill with cous cous – you'll have plenty for extra.

Maybe serve with...

Serve with steamed green vegetables and/or a crisp green salad

(hence the traffic lights!).

If you're serving with a salad, a lime and wholegrain mustard dressing

works well – tbsp oil, squeeze lime juice, 2 tsp white wine vinegar and

generous tip tsp of wholegrain mustard.Enjoy!Damehttp://www.damefandango.com
