Serve 4 to 6
Takes a bit more than an hour
A tasty, comforting cold weather dish, this is perfect by itself, or on the side with a steak or chops. The squash and the cheese go especially well together
40g unsalted butter
150g goat cheese, cut into slices
1 medium sized butternut or accord squash, peeled and cut crossways into thin (½ cm) slices
3 large waxy potatoes, sliced to the same thickness as the squash
160mls double cream
40g walnuts, finely chopped
1 tbspn flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
½ a tsp of thyme
Preheat your oven to 175C
Melt the butter. Put everything except the potatoes and cream into a bowl, pour over the melted butter, and stir well, making sure everything’s well mixed
Put half of the potatoes in the bottom of a baking dish. Put the buttery squash mixture on top, making sure the goat’s cheese is well distributed. Put the remaining potatoes on top. Pour the cream over
Bake for 1 hour, or until tender, and serve with greens
