    I've just made this tonight having first roasted the butternut squash last night. I was pretty casual about measurements and just went with what felt right, not those listed here. I also added a roasted red pepper from a jar as it seemed to go with the rest of the ingredients. I'm not going to buy hummus again! This recipe is really nice and will be going on some gluten free oatcakes tomorrow.

    This is delicious - I served it dolloped on top of sweet potato and bean burgers with a spinach salad - the harissa adds a lovely depth and spice. Will definitely do again.

    Made this as an easy starter for lunch with friends - served with crudités and flat breads. Delicious and so easy!
