INGREDIENTS

300 grams of pumpkin

1 potato

1 medium-sized cooking apple (e.g. a tart Granny Smith)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1¼ – 1½ cups of water

METHOD

1. Scoop the seeds from the pumpkin then peel it with a sharp knife and cut it into small cubes.

2. Peel the potatoes and the apple and cut them into small cubes.

3. Put the oil into a medium-sized saucepan and heat it over medium/high heat, then add the squash, apple and potato cubes.

4. Stir well to coat everything in the oil then cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often.

5. Pour in 1¼ cup of the water and bring to the boil, then put a lid on the pan, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are soft – checking and adding more of the water to avoid drying out.

6. Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool a little, then mash everything well – or use a stick blender – to get the texture required.
