This is a quick and delicious vegetarian tapas dish using butternut squash which I chargrill with a sprinkle of Ras el Hanout spice mix and a squeeze of lemon juice and serve with some creamy goat’s cheese, pomegranate seeds and topped with pistachio crumbs. The goat’s cheese cream and pistachio migas can be made in advance, so you only need to cook the butternut squash before you serve…so easy!
