Cup of Yum
Make the 'cheesy' sauce
- Boil the butternut squash, carrots and onions until they are soft, which usually takes around 15 minutes.
- Once the vegetables for the cheesy sauce are cooked through, drain them but keep the water you cooked them in. Add the vegetables to a food processor or blender together with around a cup of the cooking water, plant based milk, red chilli peppers, garlic, mustard, salt, paprika, cumin, turmeric and cornstarch. Blend until smooth.
Combine sauce and vegetables
- When they are ready, transfer the potatoes and Brussels sprouts to a pan over a medium-high heat together with the sauce. Stir for a few minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
- Add green peas and spinach, stirring for 2-3 minutes more. Serve when the spinach wilts.
