This rustic stuffed squash can be roasted whole in the pizza oven for a vegan centre-piece. The stuffing fills the squash with a sweet nutty aroma and the hazelnut topping is delicious with the dried cranberries beneath.
Method
Preheat your oven to 300˚C and move the fire to one side.
Remove the top of your squash and scoop out the seeds (toast theses with some olive oil in the oven for a snack while you prepare the rest)
Then in a food processor blitz your cauliflower and kale. Mix with grated parsnip, cranberries, chopped sage, walnut oil and sea salt. Stuff this mixture into your squash cavity.
Top with blitzed hazelnuts.
Place the lid back on the squash and roast for 20-25 mins in the coolest part of your oven near the door. Turn regularly and allow the skin to blacken. The squash will steam and roast at the same time. Remove the lid for the last 5 mins of roasting.

It’s the perfect environment for a slow braised larger joint of meat, the initial cooking time is hot, and then very gradually cools [...]
Meatball Sub! This Italian inspired meatball marinara open sandwich is a real treat. The meatballs cooked on the BBQ caramelise perfectly to provide an umami sweet crust and as soon as they’re cooked and you toss them in the rich tomato sauce they almost shout out for grilled cheese. You can cook this whole recipe [...]
The Art of Fire Smoked Short Ribs with Tuscan Olive Oil Glaze Slow, smoky and deeply satisfying Few cuts reward patience like beef short ribs. When cooked low and slow over glowing embers, the meat becomes tender enough to fall apart with a fork while the surface turns sticky and caramelised. This is fire cooking [...]
