Baked Squash with Chestnut Nut Roast Stuffing

November 14, 2019 / Niki / 2 Comments

What to cook for that special festive dinner? Its a question I get asked all the time at this time of the year so I’ve created lots of delicious seasonal celebratory recipes.

But what to cook for a striking centre piece? I think that roast squash is hard to beat. Here its stuffed with a chestnut nut roast filling and its super tasty.

They also look pretty special laid out on a serving dish, I would recommend serving hem with a feast of other veggies;

Roast carrots & Parsnips on polenta

Miso roast parsnips on butter bean mash

I really hope you enjoy, more delicious festive recipes coming your way.

    Just made this for Christmas lunch. The mushroom and chestnut filling is amazing. Can’t wait to eat the whole ensemble at lunchtime. Think the turkey eaters will be rather jealous!!
