Ingredients

  • 1 pound butternut or kabocha squash, peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 clove garlic, unpeeled
  • 1 teaspoon harissa (a North African hot sauce available in specialty shops)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method

  • Bring about 6 cups of water to a boil in a large pot.
  • Then add the squash, salt and the garlic clove.
  • Lower the heat and simmer until the squash is very tender.
  • Remove the squash to a mesh strainer, and squeeze the garlic out of its skin into the strainer.
  • Mash the two together to help get rid of excess water.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in the harissa, salt to taste, the coriander, lemon juice and olive oil.
  • Taste, adjust the seasonings, then serve.
