This butternut squash stuffed with lentil curry and feta is a complete and comforting vegetarian dish, perfect for autumn meals.
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Cut it in half and remove the seeds.
Season with salt and pepper.
Brush with maple syrup.
Place back in the oven for another 15 minutes.
Chop the mushrooms and mix them with the lentil curry.
Remove the butternut squash from the oven, scoop out some of the flesh from the center, and add it to the mixture.
Stuff the butternut squash with the mixture and bake for another 5 minutes.
Once out of the oven, sprinkle with feta and a few coriander leaves.
Optionally, garnish with a few slices of golden beet.
