Cucurbita moschata

and what a wonderful specimen it is.

Today, someone brought into the staffroom, a basket of Organic Butternut Squashes they had grown in their garden.

They were MASSIVE


I chose this one as it's lurvly and curvy.

It weighs in at 3.2kg. and I bought it for £1.50

I checked online and found the price per kilo for organic butternut squash. £2.49 per Kilo!!

This would have cost me nearly £8 in a shop. So I'm chuffed at this bargain.

All I need now is a few interesting recipes, sweet and savoury (in particular vegetarian)

PLEASE POST SOME IDEAS

Thanks
