This is a great way to use up summer corn. The feta and pumpkin seeds add a delicious umami twist. Adapted from Yotam Ottolenghi.
Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash, cut in half lengthways, skin on, seeds scooped out, cut into 1″ half-moon wedges
- 75 ml olive oil, plus extra to finish
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 whole corn cobs, peeled if in husks
- 1 jalapeno, deseeded and finely diced
- zest of 1 large lime
- 4 T lime juice
- Handful cilantro, roughly chopped
- Handful mint, roughly chopped
- ¼ t chilli flakes
- 30 g pumpkin seeds, toasted
- 50 g feta, crumbled into small pieces
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425 F.
- Toss squash with 2 T oil, 1/2 t salt, and plenty of pepper.
- Cover a large baking tray with parchment paper, spread squash out, and roast for 25 minutes, until cooked through and golden brown. Set aside to cool.
- Char whole corn cobs on a grill, in a broiler, or on an open oven flame for about 8 minutes, turning regularly so they are evenly charred.
- Remove from the heat – once cool enough to handle, shave off kernels.
- Combine corn kernels with jalapeno, lime zest and juice, 3 T oil, 1/4 t salt, herbs, and chilli flakes. Mix and set aside.
- To serve, top squash with salsa, pumpkin seeds, feta, and a drizzle of olive oil.
