Chipotle butternut squash with chickpeas
Background
This chipotle butternut squash with chickpeas can be served in flatbread or tortilla wraps, with some cheese or plant-based feta for a vegan version. Alternatively, you can use the mixture as stuffing - for example in bell peppers, mini squash, courgette etc or serve it as a side dish with grilled meat and fish.

- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion
- Β½ medium or 1 small butternut squash

Instructions
- Thinly slice the onion and chop the garlic.
- Peel and deseed the squash, then cut the flesh into 2cm cubes. Cut the pepper into small chunks.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan then sautΓ© the onion for 5 minutes. Add the red pepper, garlic and squash, then fry for another minute or so.
