Crown Prince Squash with Goats Cheese and Cucumber Dressing


Of all the varieties of squash, crown prince has to be my favourite: smooth, creamy and rich. It's a steak if you're a vegetarian. That's why it's perfect with a bit of light cucumber and lemon juice to cut through the richness. This is great for a light lunch or a side dish for your evening winter roast.

1 crown prince squash
200g goats cheese
100ml extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and cracked pepper

Dressing:
1 cucumber
1 lemon
Pinch of sea salt

Method:
Cut the crown prince squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Using a sharp knife, peel off the skin and cut squash into large chunks and lay out on baking tray. Drizzle over olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Place in oven set at 200ºC for 45 minutes.
For the dressing, cut the cucumber into quarters and place in food processor with juice of lemon and salt, blend together until cumber is puréed.
Once the squash is roasted, serve with large pieces of goats cheese and cucumber dressing.
