Who likes to Jerk? Ever jerked a squash? It really should be a thing on everyone's autumnal culinary repertoire. We're such big fans of jerking and with our Fermented Jerk Paste you will soon discover why.
Ingredients
-
1 medium butternut squash for every 2 diners.
Method
-
Half each squash leaving the skin on and spooning out the seeds.
-
Score each half deeply into inch squares.
-
Rub the jerk paste all over the cut surface and deep into the scores.
-
Cover and leave over night.
-
When ready to bake, splash with a little olive oil and roast at 180c for about an hour, or until well cooked and beginning to caramelise.
-
When cooked to your required doneness serve one half per person or alternatively slice and serve.
N.B. We like to make a feature of the hole that contained the squash seeds and fill it with something after baking. A great serving suggestion is to use our Smoky Pink Kraut.
