Ingredients

1.2kg butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and cut into 1cm chunks

500g bunch beetroot, peeled and cut into wedges

1 large onion, roughly chopped

2 sticks celery, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2 bay leaves

2tbsp rapeseed oil

1 reduced-salt vegetable stock cube, made up to 300ml

50g unsalted butter, cubed

75g plain flour

150g walnuts, roughly chopped

50g pomegranate seeds

Thyme leaves, to serve (optional)

Method

1
Put the squash, beetroot, onion, celery, garlic, bay leaves and oil in a stockpot over a medium heat. Season with black pepper. Stir, cover and cook for 15 mins, stirring occasionally.
2
Add the stock, bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 20 mins until the veg is just tender.
3
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/ Gas 7. Mix the butter, flour and walnuts roughly together for the crumble topping, and set aside.
4
Tip the cooked veg into a roasting tin and scatter over the topping. Bake for 15-20 mins until the crumble is golden brown and crisp. Serve hot, topped with the pomegranate seeds and thyme, if using.
