One of the best things about stuffed winter squash is that you can customize it to your liking. Feel free to make the recipe your own with whatever you have in your pantry. Use any kind of ground meat you like. Chicken or pork would work great in this recipe! I have tried stuffed squashes, like hokkaido, acorn, buttercup and they were very delicious.

 

1/2 / 600 g Butternut squash 2 tsp Olive oil 350 g Ground beef 1-2 Shallot, diced 1 Large garlic clove, crushed 200 g Pumpkin, finely diced (carrot, potato, or bell pepper are fine too) 150 g Tomato, chopped ½ tsp Dried thyme ½ tsp Dried rosemary Cayenne pepper Salt & pepper Chives, chopped Parmesan, grated

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Cut the butternut squash into halves and remove its seeds with a spoon. The squash I have is rather big, so I just use a half and save another half for soup.
2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and lay the butternut squash, cut side up on it. Brush with a teaspoon of olive oil and season. Roast for 45-55 minutes.
3. Fifteen minutes before the squash is ready, heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet. Add the ground beef and cook it until brown, stirring often. Add the chopped shallots, crushed garlic, diced pumpkin and chopped tomatoes. Cook until the vegetables are softened.
4. Add in dried herbs, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 10 minutes on medium heat.
5. Remove the roasted butternut squash from the oven and fill with beef mixture and top with grated Parmesan. Return to the oven and bake for 10 more minutes. Scoop out some squash flesh if you want to make more room for the stuffing. Sprinkle the top with chives and grate more Parmesam over and serve!
