fennel and squash recipes

[simbaben]

Help, I've just had my shopping delivered and in my organic selection box is a fennel and a squash and I have no idea how to cook them or any recipes I can put them with. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Fennel wes asked about a couple of days ago - see: http://www.vegbox-recipes.co.uk/index.php for some info.

Squash - was it the patty pan ones - little flat varieties or a larger one? patty pans can be treated like courgettes - steam, roast or stir fry. Larger ones - butternut, spaghetti or acorn varieties for examle - skin, dice and roast, boil, bake or fry.

Put the oil, garlic, bay leaf, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper into a plastic zipper bag and mix it together - add the vegetables and move them around in the mixture until they are coated.

Pour into a roasting pan and roast until the vegetables are done to your particular taste.

Remove the bay leaf.

Put the ratatouille in a serving dish and grate the parmesan cheese over the top.

Peel, deseed squash and cut into cubes, Place on baking tray and sprinkle with olive oil and roast for 15 minutes in oven. Make large egg tortilla and place spinach, squash and walnuts on top with grated parmesan and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. This is very good cold too.
