Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 3 min.

Cut 50 g smoked cheese into small dice or slivers.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 20 min.

Prepare or reheat 200 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 1 butternut 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 4 tablespoons olive oil and 30 g tandoori spices over and mix well.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 2 min.

Add 2 tablespoons 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.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 1 min.

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.

Remarks

If you don't have smoked cheese, opt instead for any other classic cheese.

You can use whatever spice mix you prefer: tandoori, chilli, Cajun...

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
