WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Heat the oil and butter in a large pan on a medium heat. Bung in the onions and gently fry for about 10 mins or until soft.
- Stir in the garlic, thyme and rosemary, followed by the squash and sweet potato. Season with salt and plenty of pepper and continue cooking for 15 mins, stirring often.
- Stir in the wine and turn up the heat for a couple of minutes, so the wine reduces by half. Reduce the heat, plop in the tomatoes, then glug in the stock. Stir and boil gently for a further 10 mins, or until all the veg are lovely and soft and cooked to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat the grill.
- Stir through the cream and place the cheese on top of the stew. Pop under the grill until all the cheese has melted and started to brown.
- Serve with couscous and a crunchy green salad.
Top Tip for making Sophie Conran's squash & goat's cheese stew
