COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Cook the gem squash in salted boiling water for 10 minutes or until tender. Remove from the water, drain and place on a baking tray.

Bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling.

These make a perfect veggie dish on their own, but are also delicious with roast chicken. If you braai them, they’ll take on a lovely smoky flavour.
