This weeks Tasty Thursday is a favourite in our house because of its simplicity and how easy it is to make. Its delicious, doesn't require much cooking skill and it is pretty easy on the tummy. Usually after a week of heavy, rich or spicy foods, hubby and I are looking for something that will soothe our tummies and give it a chance to settle.
Also, if we've been having those rich and spicy foods, chances are its been a hectic week where we haven't been doing the cooking ourselves and eating at home. This is a meal reserved for those times when we're too tired to cook but still want something nutricious and wholesome. And most of all quick!
Ingredients
4 Gem Squash
1 tin cream-style Sweetcorn
8 teaspoons butter (to taste and optional)
Grated Cheese
salt to taste
a sprinkle of cayenne pepper/ curry powder/ peri-peri/ paprika
a sprinkle of dried mixed herbs
----------------------
Cut the Gems in half
Place in a wide, shallow microwave dish with about half a cup of water
Microwave until seeds start to pull away from the sides and gem squash is cooked (usually about 8-10 mins)
Scoop out the seeds
(you can plant them, roast them or just throw them away)
Place a teaspoon of butter in the shells and grind over some salt
Fill the shells with sweetcorn, top with cheese and sprinkle over the paprika and herbs
Enjoy!
