STUFFED GEM SQUASH SUGGESTIONS
If you don’t want to cook the squashes in the microwave, you can also bake them or boil them after being cut in half. One of the old-school ways of enjoying gem squash is with a bit of butter and sugar, and maybe some sweetcorn, but this recipe takes it to a new level. Make sure not to overcook the spinach and add as much chili as you want to. You can also get a bit creative with ingredients and make your own special dinner sides.
