Indy Power, aka Little Green Spoon, has partnered with Tesco to create an alternative to the traditional Christmas dinner.
Ingredients:
• 1 butternut squash
• Tesco quinoa
• 1 handful of Tesco pecans
• 1 handful of Tesco dried cranberries
• Small handful of rosemary
• 1 tbsp of Tesco coconut oil
• Salt and pepper
• 1 portion of curried yoghurt sauce
For the curried yoghurt sauce:
• 1/2 cup of Tesco Greek yoghurt (120g) (or coconut yohgurt as a vegan option)
• 1 tbsp of Tesco extra virgin olive oil
• Juice of half a lemon
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon of Tesco mild curry powder
Preparation:
- Cut your butternut squash length ways down the middle.
- Then cut the long ends off so you're left with the two halves of the circular end.
- Peel these and scoop out any seeds or stringy bits.
- Place them in a roasting dish and drizzle with melted coconut oil.
- Sprinkle on the rosemary and salt and pepper.
- Roast at 220ºC for about 45 minutes or until soft and starting to brown.
- A few minutes before its ready, roughly chop your pecans and add them to a pan on medium heat.
- Toast them for a few minutes and then set them aside.
- Next, make your curried yoghurt by stirring all the ingredients in a bowl.
- Pile the quinoa into the centre of the squash, sprinkle with the toasted pecans and dried cranberries.
