Ingredients
  

  • 2-4 butternut squashes
  • 1 broccoli cut in small florets
  • 1 red pepper sliced
  • 1 green pepper sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 reels feta cheese cut in squares
  • 250 bacon bits
  • ground black pepper and salt
  • Creamy Honey and Mustard Dressing

Instructions
 

Method:

  • Halve the butternuts and clean out the inside. Using a sharp knife, cut the flesh in a square pattern.
  • Place the butternut halves in a saucepan filled with water and bring to a boil on the stove, cooking for about 30 minutes or until slightly soft. Be careful not to overcook to keep them manageable.
  • Once cooked, remove the butternut from the water and let them cool. Once cooled, remove the squares and set them aside in a bowl.
  • In a non-stick skillet, stir fry the bacon bits until crispy, then set aside.
  • Assemble the filling by adding the red and green peppers, chopped garlic, broccoli, bacon, and feta cheese to the bowl with the butternut squash cubes.
  • Fill the butternut squash halves with the mixture. Sprinkle with ground black pepper and salt.
  • Add the chopped fresh herbs and drizzle the creamy honey and mustard dressing over the delicious filling before serving.
