This mashed squash is not only very easy and delicious but it's also quite an interesting dish that makes a great alternative to mashed potato.
Ingredients
- 400g squash (1)
- 2 cloves of garlic
- ½ teaspoon of dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of crème fraîche or sour cream or yoghurt
- Juice of ½ a lemon
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 3
Method
- Heat the oven to 200°c.
- Cut the squash in half, spoon out the seeds and put the squash into a roasting tin. Then put the whole, un-peeled cloves of garlic into the cavity in each squash, drizzle over the oil, sprinkle over the oregano and season it with salt & pepper.
- Put the roasting tin into the oven and roast the squash for 30 minutes.
- Take the squash out of the oven and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes, until it is cool enough to handle.
- Spoon the flesh out of the squash and discard the skins, then squeeze the garlic out of its skin.
- Place both the squash and garlic into a bowl and, using a folk, mash the two together. Add the crème fraîche, sour cream or yoghurt and the lemon juice, mix it all together and check the seasoning.
- Serve warm.
