Butternut Squash and Chickpea Ragout
A vegetable casserole will always cook more quickly than one with meat but don't worry if you are delayed - the vegetables may fall apart a bit but the flavour will be fantastic. I like this best with buttered couscous.
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 3tbsp olive oil
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- 2-3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1tsp turmeric
- 400g can Waitrose Chopped Tomatoes
- 900g butternut squash (approximately 1 large squash), halved, deseeded, skinned and cut into chunks
- 1 medium cauliflower, broken into small florets
- 2 red peppers, deseeded and cut into chunks
- 400ml boiling vegetable stock
- 410g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2tsp Bart Spices Harissa Paste
- 1 pack Waitrose Fresh Coriander, chopped, to garnish
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 150°C, gas mark 2. Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole, add the onions and sauté gently for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly. Stir in the garlic and turmeric and cook for 1 minute, then add the tomatoes, squash, cauliflower and peppers.
- Stir in the stock and chickpeas, cover, then cook in the oven for 1 1/2 hours.
- Carefully remove a teacup of sauce and add the harissa. Mix together well, then stir the mixture back into the casserole. Add the coriander, season to taste and serve.
