Golden Cauliflower, Chickpea and Squash Curry with Pomegranate Raita

I love veggie curries for when I’m craving some spice but want something a bit fresher, lighter and healthier than a meat curry. Roasting cauliflower and squash in lots of spices helps to amp up the flavour and give a slightly smoky, charred flavour to the finished dish. With a refreshing raita with added pomegranates for texture and a fruity burst, mango chutney, extra lime, and some toasted flaked almonds, this is a comforting weeknight meal which doesn’t take long to prepare and will help get you towards your 5 a day.

Roast Squash, Chickpea and Kale Salad with Creamy Tahini Dressing

One of my favourite salad recipes for when I feel the need for some veggie goodness. The butternut squash could be substituted for sweet potato and you could use any other leafy greed instead of the kale. The key is letting it marinade in the dressing for at least 30 minutes so it can start to soften. The creamy tahini dressing is addictive and so versatile. With some toasted crunchy pumpkin or sunflower seeds to top it off, its a healthy and satisfying light dinner or lunch and works perfectly for leftovers.

Chorizo, Butternut Squash and Pea Risotto with Crispy Sage, Paprika Hazelnuts and Crushed Amaretti

Everyone loves risotto and butternut squash and chorizo is a classic combination. However, with the little twists I have made to my recipe, this is a risotto with a difference. The crispy sage, paprika hazelnuts and amaretti all add texture and more layers of flavour. The crushed amaretti biscuit on top is a classic Italian addition which I personally love. The little hint of sweetness works so well with the squash, while the saltiness from the parmesan and spice from the nuts and chorizo balances everything out.

Dukkah Roasted Butternut Squash with Brussel Sprouts, Dates, Labneh, Zhoug and Pecans

This dish would make a great side dish but it also made a lovely light dinner for us. Meat free and vegetarian, it’s full of flavour and texture. The roasted squash and sprouts crusted with dukkah, coriander, cumin seeds and nigella seeds is delicious. Teamed with creamy labneh yoghurt which is so easy to make, zingy green zhoug dressing, crunchy toasted walnuts and sweet juicy dates, this would be a great addition to any feast and a different way to have sprouts on Christmas Day.
