I use butternut squash a lot, in all sorts of dishes from delicate butternut and pine nut raviolis to deep, rich stews and curries. It can be a bit of a faff to prep so I thought I would share a step by step prep in pictures.

Step 1 : top and tail the butternut and then cut in half where it starts to bulge out.

Step 2: peel, I like to use a speed peeler.

Step 3: cut in half length ways.

Step 4: slice into length of thickness required.

Step 5: dice into size required.

Step 6 and 7 : use a spoon to scoop out the seeds.

Step 8: slice into length of thickness required.  

Step 9: dice into size required

I hope this is helpful 🙂
