Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut Squash Soup served with Greek Youghurt, shreds of beet leaf and kale.

This soup, like most takes a while to prepare, but it's worth it!

Made from:

• roasted butternut squash
• parsnips
• onions
• peppers
• smoked paprika
• turmeric

[Omit the youghurt or substitute it with a vegan alternative]

Black Risotto

Although it's not a classic risotto (not made with Arborio rice) it's got an amazing flavour.  The rice is full grain, so texture is a bit looser and chewy. Forbidden rice and black trumpet mushrooms, garnished with pan roasted parsnips.

Baked Acorn Squash with Quinoa

First, wash, cut-in-half, place on oiled baking sheet.

Bake about 45 minutes or until the squash becomes softened.

While it's baking, prepare a filling mix of cooked quinoa, pine nuts, sauteed: parsnips, cranberries, peppers and onions.

Season the squash with salt and fill with the quinoa mix.
