Ingredients

  • 1 medium Butternut squash peeled, seeded and cut into 1 inch chunks
  • Calories controlled cooking oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Nutmeg optional

Instructions

  • Peel and seed the butternut squash
  • Chop the flesh into small chunks about 2cm cubes
  • Place in a saucepan of cold, salted water and bring to the boil.
  • Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover.
  • Simmer for 20 - 30 minutes or until the cubes are tender and a knife pierces through the flesh easily.
  • Remove from the heat and drain.
  • Leave in the colander / sieve for 2 - 3 minutes or so to let as much water as possible to drain.
  • Return to the saucepan over a very low heat to steam off any further water.
  • Season with salt and pepper and 5 - 10 sprays of the calorie controlled cooking oil.
  • Mash with a potato masher or fork.
  • The mashing of the butternut squash may create a little more water at the bottom of the pan. If this happens keep the pan on the heat till it steams off or alternatively mix it into the mash.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Serve hot with a sprinkling of nutmeg if required.
