Since getting married and living with my hubby I thought I better always cook a man's meal, you know one that always contains MEAT! When I was single I barely ate meat, I was always busy with work and socialising so I couldn't be bothered defrosting and cooking it, so I mainly ate it when I had dinner out or in a quick Lean Cuisine. Fortunately being a lover of cooking I had many recipes to feed my manly man, but I was very surprised when he requested some more vegetarian recipes! So out of my trusty Jamie Oliver - Happy Days with the Naked Chef guide, Jamie hosts a variety of tasty vegetarian options, which I thought I would try the "Hamilton Squash" on page 226.
Instead of relaying the recipe I thought I'd give you a link to his website, complete with pictures: http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetarian-recipes/hamilton-squash
The recipe overall was a little messy, but lots of fun mixing together the tasty ingredients. I cooked and stuffed the filling into my awaiting butternut pumpkin, wrapped tightly in aluminum foil and baked in a hot oven for over an hour.
Jamie sure knows how to give your nostrils a work out, unwrapping my parcel sure had me drooling for dinner! Hubby and I both enjoyed this dish, which was a welcome change to our usual repertoire. We ended up having a lot left over which we used the following evening when my mum stayed over, interestingly it tasted even better, a night in the fridge sure did it justice!
I certainly will give this dish another go, perhaps at a dinner party as a side to Jamie's delectable "Old Mans Superb Chicken" which you can find on one of my earlier blogs.. I know meat again, what can I say a man still needs his meat after all! Happy cooking friends!
