Salt to taste.

Process

  1. Drizzle the diced squash with 1 tbsp of the oil and roast at 180c for 30 minutes. Mash with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Meanwhile, add the remaining olive oil, celery, onion, courgette, carrot and spices to a frying pan and gently fry for approx. 10 mins until softened.
  3. Then add this to the squash along with all the remaining ingredients, except the eggs. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Check the seasoning and add a little more salt if needed. Add the eggs and mix again until thoroughly combined.
  5. Transfer to a 2lb loaf tin, lined with greaseproof paper, and bake at 180c for 1 hour. Check halfway and cover with foil if getting too brown.
  6. Leave to cool slightly before slicing. Delicious with chutney and salad. Can also be used cold for picnics/ packed lunches etc. Enjoy!
