Quite a simple, but delicious, common cafe recipe that I created a couple of years ago. Its perfect for this time of year!
Peel and chop your squash into 1 inch equal size pieces and put into a pan of 3/4 of a pint of chicken stock (from a cube) per whole squash. Cook gently until tender. Blitz with a blender and add a large dessert spoon of natural yoghurt or UHT single cream. Add a generous pinch of ground black pepper, salt and a large handful of chopped coriander/cilantro. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of chilli flakes. Serve with a garlic enfused bread or crostini.
It is cheap and nice!
