Vegetarian Moussaka - a delectable way to use Butternut Squash Author: Fiona Lesley The inspiration for this Vegetarian Moussaka came after I had drawn a blank with many other vegetarian moussaka recipes. I love using butternut squash - it is both filling and nutritious. Therefore, using butternut as a base in this dish meant that there didn't have to be as much bulky pulse added. The result is a very satisfying dish, rich in flavor and packed with nutrients. With regards to roasting the butternut squash: peel the butternut. Next, chop the butternut into inch (2½ cm) cubes, discarding the seeds. Place the cubes on an oiled baking tray. Massage a little oil over the butternut cubes and roast them in a moderate oven for about 30 - 40 mins, until they are cooked. Simple!
