Ingredients
- 125g peeled and deseeded butternut squash
- 100g vegetarian feta cheese
- 50g Parmesan or vegetarian alternative, grated
- 50g young spinach
- 300g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 250ml milk
- 2 medium eggs
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp finely chopped rosemary, or 1⁄2 tsp dried, plus an extra sprig or two
- 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
Step by step
- Heat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Grease and line a 900g loaf tin with vegetable or olive oil.
- Coarsely grate the butternut squash into a mixing bowl. Crumble the feta into the bowl and sprinkle over most of the Parmesan, reserving 2 tablespoons. Tear the spinach roughly and add, along with the flour, baking powder and salt. Beat the milk and eggs together then stir into the bowl with the pepper and rosemary; lightly mix. Spoon into the tin and sprinkle over the pumpkin seeds and remaining Parmesan. Break up the extra rosemary sprig and scatter on top of the loaf. Bake for 1 hour until firm and a knife comes out cleanly.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes; remove from the tin and cool completely on a wire rack. Wrap in foil to pack.
