Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Add your butternut squash cubes to a heatproof bowl

Cover the bowl with cling film and pierce a few holes in the top

Put the bowl in the microwave and cook for 3-4 min or until the squash is fork-tender

Step 1
2.

Crush your walnuts in the bag with a rolling pin (keep them in the bag so you don't lose any!)

Tip: If you don't have a rolling pin, just chop them roughly!

Heat a large, dry, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a medium heat, once hot, add the crushed walnuts and cook for 2-3 min or until toasted and lightly golden, then set aside until serving (reserve the pan!)

Tip: Watch them like a hawk to make sure they don't burn!

Step 2
3.

Peel and cut your red onion[s] into wedges, then separate the wedges so you end up with a pile of onion petals

Step 3
4.

Return the reserved pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil

Once hot, add the onion petals and microwaved squash to the pan with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 7-8 min or until softened and beginning to brown

Step 4
5.

Meanwhile, combine your green tomato chutney in a bowl with your white wine vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt – this is your salad dressing

Wash your spinach and pat it dry with kitchen paper

Step 5
6.

Squeeze your pouch[es] of glorious grains to separate the grains

Tear the top corner of the pouch[es] (just a little!) and microwave for 2 min or until piping hot

Tip: If you're cooking two or more pouches, pop them in together but increase the microwave cook time accordingly

Step 6
7.

Once the vegetables have softened, add the warmed grains to the pan with your vegetable stock mix and a splash of cold water and give everything a good mix up

Once combined, remove the pan from the heat and add the spinach with half of the salad dressing (you'll use the rest later!) and toss – this is your warm squash & spinach grain salad

Tip: Cooking for 3 or more? Use 2 pans!

Step 7
8.

Serve the warm squash & spinach grain salad and crumble your goats' cheese over the top

Top with the toasted walnuts and drizzle with the remaining salad dressing

Enjoy!
