Savoury Mince Filled Gem Squash

 

To serve:

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Heat the oil and fry the onion and garlic until soft.

Add the carrots and mince and fry until cooked.

Add the tomato paste, stock, mixed herbs and seasoning. Simmer over low heat until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the parsley.

Place the gem squashes in a baking dish and spoon the mince mixture into their cavities.

Spoon the white sauce over and sprinkle with grated cheddar.

Bake for 30 minutes. Serve them warm with a salad.

HINTS & TIPS:

• Break up mince easily when frying it by using a whisk.
• Place the gem squash halves upside down on a microwavable plate. Add 30 ml water. Microwave on high for 12 – 15 minutes until cooked.
