A family favourite all year round, this Mexican dish is given a healthier twist than traditional chilli and rice because it uses extra lean minced beef and the squash counts towards your 5-a-day fruit and vegetables.

Method
1Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Lay the chopped butternut squash onto a baking tray lined with foil and sprinkle on the onion seeds and seasoning. Then drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 30-40 min until tender. (If you want to reduce the cooking time, you can par-boil for 5 minutes).
2Now make the chilli. Heat the oil and gently fry the onions, green pepper and garlic for a few minutes to soften.
3Add the minced beef and brown, pressing the chunks of meat with a spoon to break them up.
4Stir in all the other ingredients, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5Serve the chilli garnished with coriander and roasted butternut squash.
