I went to my allotment yesterday to start tidying up.
Here are a few of my Butternut Squash stored in the shed.
This is the first year I have grown squash and I had a bumper crop. Once the skins have hardened they last for months in a cool frost free place. They taste lovely simply cut into chunks (peel first) and roasted until charred with olive oil, salt, black pepper & coriander. My vegetarian daughter also makes a lovely squash soup.
These should see me through the winter months and I shall definitely be growing them again next year.
Mmn butternut squash is lovely roasted .
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise how beautifully sweet it turns when roasted.
DeleteOh my you have done very well, I have never tried to grow them before, perhaps I should

They're very simple to grow once they establish. You just need the space for them to wander and the leaves help to keep the weeds down.
DeleteWhat a fantastic crop! I must admit I've never eaten one of these, if it's that simple to cook I'll have to give it a go. Georgie xx
