Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 910 g butternut squash peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch (2.5cm) cubes
  • 120 ml vegetable stock
  • 2 tbsp butter diced
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Heat a large casserole dish or heavy-bottomed pot over a medium heat. Add the oil and garlic and cook just until the garlic turns light golden, one to two minutes.
  • Add the squash and stock and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook until the squash is tender, for about 15 minutes.
  • Uncover, stir, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated and the squash is golden brown, for eight to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and toss with the butter and parsley.
