Ingredients to Serve 4

1 medium ‘queen’ squash

50g pumpkin seeds

1 tbsp olive oil

100g rocket leaves or similar peppery-tasting salad leaves

Sea salt and freshly ground black estle & mortar

2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, roughly chopped

1 tbsp white balsamic wine vinegar

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or pumpkin seed oil

 

Prep time: 5 mins

Cook time: 30 mins

Method:

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas mark 6.
  2. Peel the squash, cut it in half and scoop out the seeds. Cut it lengthways, into wedges. Place the squash wedges in a bowl, drizzle over the oil and shake around so that they are well-coated with the oil. Lay the wedges onto a baking tray, sprinkle with a large pinch of sea salt, a few grinds of black pepper and the crushed cumin seeds. Roast in the oven for about 25 minutes, until soft and slightly caramelised. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
  3. Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C/325°F/gas mark 3. Roast the pumpkin seeds on a flat baking sheet for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
  4. Arrange the salad leaves on a large, flat serving dish. Lay the squash slices on top and scatter with the pumpkin seeds, feta cheese, red chilli and coriander leaves. Whisk together the oil and vinegar with a pinch of sea salt and drizzle over the salad just before serving.
