Hi everyone, it's Karen from the Georgie Grandma
0:04
In today's video is all about the butternut squash. It's also a collab with two lovely YouTubers
0:11
whose videos I've watched for many years, and that is Caroline from the channel Caroline Mrs. M
0:18
and Kirsten from the channel Kirsten's Curiosities. So if you don't already know who they are
0:24
and I'm sure many of you already subscribe to them, I'll leave the links to their channels in the description box below
0:29
So when you've watched my video, you can go over and watch theirs
0:34
And subscribe if you haven't already. If you've come over from either of those channels, then welcome and thanks for popping across
0:42
So the collaboration is we've all chosen a different vegetable. And the challenge is to cook it three different ways
0:50
So three recipes with the same veg. And like I said, we've all chosen something different
0:55
I've chosen the but and with squash. Now if you've been to my channel before, you know I really don't like cooking, so this is definitely a challenge for me and I've tried to choose three recipes that are fairly simple or what I hope are fairly simple
1:10
So let's get started with the first one. So the first recipe I'm going to do is butternut squash pancakes
1:18
Now I do like a pancake but I've never actually tried them with butternut squash before, which I thought was a little bit unusual
1:24
So for this recipe, which I got from a website called A Jar of Lemons
1:30
and I will leave the links to all of the recipes online in the description box below if you want to try them yourself
1:37
This recipe calls for some put-annock squash tubes, which I've bought in a bag already cut up
1:45
because I find but-lanut-knit squash really difficult to chop and peel. So I bought it in a bag
1:52
some eggs some maple syrup I've only got the Skinny Food Company
1:59
zero calorie maple syrup so that'll have to do it also says vanilla
2:04
which I don't have oat flour which I've never used before some bacon powder
2:12
some cinnamon some nutmeg and some salt it says to start by putting
2:20
the butter and its squash in a pot of it. cover with water bring to a boil then reduce to a low heat and simmer until the squash
2:28
is fork tender okay so I've cooked the butternut squash for about 15 to 20 minutes
2:35
and it said once done drain it which I've done and either mash really well or add to a
2:40
blender and puree until smooth so I need half a cup of the butternut squash puree
2:47
this is an American recipe look like I do have some measure
2:52
in cups so we'll get half a cup there make sure it's all pured I don't want lumpy pancakes
3:02
and it says whisk together in a bowl with the eggs maple syrup and vanilla now I don't have the
3:08
vanilla so we'll just put in the eggs and the maple syrup
3:13
now it says the whisked the whisked
3:22
in the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. So I'll put the..
3:45
Now that part that looks a little bit thick and it said to add large eggs which I didn have in So I think I going to add another egg
4:00
Now I just need to add the batter to the pan and cook the pancakes. I'm using this pancake pan I got
4:08
about six years ago now and I've never used it. So let's hope it works
4:12
and we'll let that cook for one to two minutes and hopefully it turns out looking like a pancake
4:25
there's one pancake done we'll try another one so there's my nice stack of four in a tiny little one
4:39
pancakes but I'm squash pancakes they actually look quite good. I'm quite pleased with those
4:49
And I would serve that with some strawberries, some blackberries, and a little bit more of the maple syrup
4:57
How good does that look? The second butternut squash recipe I'm going to do
5:01
is a Cajun Spiced butternut squash soup. I do like a butler nut squash soup
5:08
and I've never actually made one myself before I don't think. so what I'm going to need for this is
5:14
some but on it squash it says peels you seeded and cut into chunks
5:20
which I've already done as you can see on the tree I need some vegetable oil which I don't have
5:26
I'm going to use olive oil hope that's just as good some caesar seasoning
5:31
a red onion some celery a red chili I don't actually have a fresh red chili
5:40
so I'm going to just use this chopped chili that I've got in a jar
5:46
some vegetable stock cube and some lime juice. And it says to toss together the squash, the vegetable oil and occasion season on a large baking tree
6:00
and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, tossing occasionally until caramelized and tender
6:06
So while they put down the squash is in the oven roasting, it's
6:10
It says to add to a pan, a tablespoon of oil, the red onion, the celery, the garlic and the chili
6:19
I've put a teaspoon of that chopped chili in, so I don't like it too hot
6:25
It's covered with the lid and fry for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until soft and translucent
6:31
So that's been cooking for 15 minutes. Now it says to add the roasted butternut squash to it, which is looking very nice, nice and caramelize
6:40
Now it says to add the vegetable stock. It's been dissolved in water
6:54
And then bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes. That's been cooking for 15 minutes and it says to blend it with a stick blender
7:09
So there it is blended up. That's looking very nice
7:26
It was looking a bit watery in the pan. I didn't think it would actually thicken up like that once I've blended it
7:32
So it says to serve it with a swale of coconut yoghurt
7:38
top with a sprinkle of Cajun seasoning and coriander to serve. I won be using coriander because I really don like it By the way that soup recipe was from the Tesco website and I also link that below
7:54
So the third recipe with butternut squash is Jamie Oliver's squash and Horace rolls
8:01
So for that, we need yet more butternut squash, some feta cheese, some chickpeas, spring onions
8:10
some harissa paste, some ready to roll puffer. pastry and one egg
8:17
Now it says in the method, it says to cut slits in the butternut squash and then cook it in the
8:23
microwave but as I don't have a whole butternut squash I've just got this I'm going to
8:29
put that in the microwave. Okay so we've microwaved the butternut squash that's all soft and I've given a little bit of a
8:37
a mash then it says to finally slice the spring onions which I've done
8:44
done so I'm going to add those in. It says drain and roughly chop the chickpeas
8:56
I hope they're roughly chopped. I don't know how you roughly chop a chickpea like
9:00
So we'll add that in. And then it says to crumble in the feta
9:10
So let's get crumbling. We'll crumble in the feta and add the hirissa paste
9:25
I'm going to leave that to cool for a little bit because that butternut squash is quite hot
9:33
I forgot to say it also needed seeds, so I had some seeds in a jar here. I think these are sunflower seeds
9:39
It doesn't specify the seeds, so I'm sure they'll be fine. So while that's cooling, it says on a flowered work surface, unroll the pastry and cut at length of ways into two long even rectangles
9:58
That doesn't look very even, but we'll get the gist. Roll a squash mixture into sausage shapes with your hands and lay along the centre of each rectangle
10:09
I'm getting my hands into the mixture here, which I don't like the feel of, to be honest
10:15
That does feel quite wet. I think it's because I've used microwave in the bag, but I'm not squash, so I'm not sure how this is going to work
10:29
But we shall persevere and try. Okay, I don't have enough mixture for the whole second bit, but no mind
10:39
I would say it's brush the pastry with the beaten egg, which I haven't already eaten
10:47
Let's just get this egg beaten. So do I brush both sides to think
11:14
We'll brush both sides, I'm probably wrong but I'll go with it
11:20
Anybody who's watched my cooking videos before, will know this is usually the way it goes
11:29
Okay, now I'll fold that over. I think I may have filled that a little bit full
11:37
Press it down on the sides This is bringing back memories of
11:49
I used to do cooking at school. I don't do a lot of cooking at home
11:56
Warren usually does it. You can see why. I think that's all going to
12:03
I think I'm going to thin this one out a little bit
12:07
because I think that other one. that other one might be too full
12:12
This is going swimmingly. All right, let's fall dead over. Right, I can see it is bursting out in places
12:29
Press down with your fingers or the edge of a spoon to seal the joints
12:33
Now, I remember doing this at school, or bulk. So I'm going to use a fork
12:42
Yeah, if I did this again, I would definitely use an actual buttonut squash rather than the one I microwaved in the bag because it's very watery
12:56
And I can see it's seeping out the edges. Cut the rolls into the size as you want and space them out onto a bacon tree
13:04
So what size sausage rolls do I want to want to want to trim? itself I've got a lot of pastry on the end there
13:16
See that size? It says these will keep in the fridge for up to three days
13:23
I'm wondering if you can freeze them. You probably can. I almost like that
13:31
I have a feeling these are going to be a disaster. Right, they're looking like a pig's here
13:42
So I'm going to brush them with the rest of the milk. And then they're going to go in the oven
13:50
We're going to scatter over some seeds. You can put any seeds you want on here, I think
14:00
And then it's going to go in the oven for 25 minutes
14:04
or until puffed golden and cooked through. So we'll put them in and see what happens
14:13
So there's the sausage rolls out of the oven and actually they don't look too bad, do they
14:19
They're quite crispy, but mind I didn't make the pastry. But they actually look okay
14:24
And the filling didn't ooze out like I thought it would. So I'll leave note on the screen as to what the tasted like
14:31
when I get around to eat one. So those were my three butternut squash recipes
14:38
the butternut squash pancakes, the Cajun Spiced Butternut Squash soup, and the Jamie Oliver's Butternut squash and Horissa rolls
14:49
All in all, I think they all turned out pretty well, considering that I don't really cook
14:55
I quite enjoyed that challenge. Now remember to go over and watch Caroline and Kirsten's videos
15:01
