“Butterball” Butternut Squash with Brazil nut and Tempeh Stuffing

Posted on:

Slathered in miso gravy and accompanied with a raw cranberry grapefruit relish, this dish explodes with all of the flavours of a traditional Christmas feast! It can be assembled a day in advance and warms perfectly as leftovers. Partially baked squash is hollowed slightly before being filled with a brazil nut paste and chard wrapped tempeh stuffing.
