Ingredients

  • 400g butternut squash (prepared weight) cut into chunky 2-3cm cubes
  • 1 tsp ras el hanout spice mix
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 75g chutney (such as date or caramelised onion)
  • 100g sliced prosciutto crudo
  • cocktail sticks
  • 1 x 20g pack rosemary

Step by step

Get ahead
Prep the butternut bites to the end of step 2 up to 24 hours ahead. Bake for an extra 2-3 minutes from fridge-cold.
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Toss the squash with the ras el hanout and olive oil in a roasting tray. Season well and roast for 30 minutes, or until tender. Leave to cool.
  2. Top each piece of roasted squash with a little of the chutney. Halve the prosciutto slices lengthways. Sit a squash cube on one end and then carefully wind the prosciutto around so the chutney is encased. Secure with a cocktail stick and put on a baking tray. See ‘Get ahead’ above, if preparing in advance.
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the bites are hot and the prosciutto is starting to crisp up. Leave to cool slightly then remove the cocktail sticks and put a small sprig of rosemary into the hole left behind. Serve hot.
