  I bought a butternut squash and didn't know what to do with it until I found this recipe. It was lovely and easy to make, and tasted really autumnal!

  Lovely recipe but was missing something - the mince looked a little anaemic! I'm going to do this again this evening but perhaps adding some red wine to make it a little richer.

  Just finished eating this. It was very nice BUT I think my squash cooked for too long so when the flesh had been taken out the "hollow squash" was too soft and nearly impossible to stuff! It didn't look a bit like the picture but it still tasted yummy!! Think I'd be more careful if I was serving this to guests! Also might try the suggestions of stock or wine. :)

  This was very nice & filling i used veggie mince as i am a vegeterian & added a oxo cube to the mince to give it more flavour,very fiddly getting the sqush out to chop made quite a mess,but i would certainly make this again.

  Thank you for the suggestions! I used lamb stock rather than water, a little chilli oil, flaked chilli and chopped apricots. All in all a lovely dinner ... served with green salad.

  Loved this. Added smoked tabasco after it was cooked for a bit of zing, might add it to the mixture next time. My squash went quite squishy after allt he grilling, but managed to stay together.
