Baked Zimbabwe Squash
This may sound super simple, but it is truly delicious! The nutty sweet flavour of the squash pairs perfectly with the salty cheese, sweet corn and curly parsley. Perfect as a main dish or as a side. The squash has VERY hard skin, so don't bother trying to peel it. Just cook using its very own serving dish!
*Please be careful cutting these squash, they have very tough skin! If you are finding it too tough to cut, another option is to boil them whole. Once cooked, cut in half and serve with fresh butter or creamed corn.
