Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 3 min.

Cut 100 g smoked cheese into small dice or slivers.

Stage 2 - 20 min.

Prepare or reheat 400 g Bechamel sauce. Add the diced cheese and mix well then set aside.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Stage 3 - 10 min.

Peel 2 butternuts squash using a vegetable peeler. Cut in half, scrape out and discard the seeds. Chop the flesh into small chunks.

Put the butternut chunks into a bowl.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Sprinkle 8 tablespoons olive oil and 60 g tandoori spices over and mix well.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Add 4 tablespoons French mustard and mix again.

Stage 6 - 20 min.

Spread out over a sheet of cooking parchment laid on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes. The butternut should be soft enough for a knife blade to go through it easily.

Put the butternut chunks into a buttered gratin dish.

Stage 8 - 1 min.

Pour the cheese sauce over. Add any leftover cheese on top.

Stage 9 - 20 min.

Bake for about 20 minutes until the top is nicely browned.
