Preparation
- Remove the tops from the butternut squash and slice them in half lengthways. Scoop out the seeds and use the tip of a sharp knife to score the flesh of the squash in a criss-cross pattern.
- Drizzle the squash with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Place on the barbecue (or in an oven preheated to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7) and cook for 25 - 30 minutes, or until tender.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Mix the red onions, pine nuts, feta, olives and lemon together in a bowl. Add a handful of chopped parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Remove the cooked squash from the barbecue and fill with the stuffing mix. Carefully return to the barbecue for a further 10 minutes to warm through and allow the feta to soften, then remove from the heat and garnish with the spring onions and remaining parsley to serve.
