This is simply roast butternut squash in a Greek yoghurt, Parmesan cheese and sage sauce.
I fell over the other day.
As in flat on the ground with grazes to palms and knees, holes in my jeans. I lay stunned for 5 mins.
Luckily, the street was completely empty at that hour and no one witnessed it. So I was not embarrassed as I dusted off my jeans and slowly limped away. One to uneven pavements, zero to Bintu (with a head in the clouds listening to ‘say something’ for the 5th time).
After two cups of tea and a session flipping thought the Total Greek Yoghurt Cookbook
, I decided to treat myself to this butternut squash bake. It is simply baking my favourite orange vegetable in thick rich Greek yoghurt sauce flavoured with Parmesan cheese and sage. Served with some left over pork, those grazes just faded away.

19/02/2015 at 12:38 pmI love this vegetarian recipe. The yogurt must add a lovely flavour to your dish.
Bintu says
19/02/2015 at 1:12 pmA nice slightly tangy flavour which works with the sweet butternut squash.

20/02/2015 at 8:24 amPoor you, thank goodness there wasn’t anyone to witness the fall. I wonder why we get embarrassed when we fall over? Your lovely bright coloured dish is a great idea. So tasty and healthy too. GG
Bintu says
21/02/2015 at 11:34 pmI was all dressed up and certainly too embarrassed to find myself on the ground.

22/02/2015 at 9:36 amThis sounds like a great side dish for some grilled or roasted meat. I often use Greek yoghurt in a similar way to this – it makes a great healthier topping!
