About

THIS MAKES A GOOD ALTERNATIVE TO THE LARGE STUFFED MARROWS YOU SEE IN MANY MEDITERRANEAN RESTAURANTS AND HOMES. WHEN CHOOSING A SQUASH, IT SHOULD MAKE A HOLLOW SOUND WHEN TAPPED AND THE SKIN SHOULD BE SHINY AND DARK GREEN. THE FLESH IS NORMALLY SWEETER THAN OTHER SQUASH VARIETIES.

Ingredients

2 gem squash, halved and seeds removed
½ cup frozen peas
1 cup roughly

Side dish
Vegetarian

Method

Cook the squash in boiling water until tender.
Cook the peas separately until softened.
In a pan, heat the spinach in the olive oil, until just wilted.
Remove from the heat and stir through the peas and feta, then season with salt and pepper.
Spoon this mixture into the squash centres and sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top.
