Chilli with butternut squash

Well, this made a nice change - served chilli in half a (small) baked butternut squash, which was much lighter than a jacket potato and didn't need any butter!!  I used my own tried and tested chilli recipe, but you can get the full recipe from the BBC Good Food website.

I didn't bother with salad, as we had both had a large salad for lunch (and it was a big enough meal without any extra accompaniment!), but we did indulge in a bit of grated cheddar and a dollop of soured cream ... yum!

V  Vegetarians, just substitute your favourite meat-free chilli for the regular version.
