Here's a good dish to serve if you have company of the vegetarian kind for dinner. Add a mixed salad of arugula, English cucumber and palm hearts with a simple oil and vinegar dressing. This 'pudding' is really a souffle, but don't be alarmed. I would not break my promise of providing recipes that won't tax the novice chef. Go on, give it a go!
Ingredients
2-3 cups crumbled/grated cheese (a mix of goat's cheese, Cheddar and Parmesan works well)
3 eggs, separated
3 tablespoons flour
3 cups squash, mashed to a purée with a little butter and heavy cream
1 clove garlic, crushed
Chilli flakes, salt and pepper to taste
Method
Beat egg whites until they show the mark of the whip. Combine the other ingredients taking care to avoid lumps when incorporating the flour. Fold the egg whites into the mixture. Pour the mixture into a well buttered soufflé dish and bake at 375F for 1 hour without opening the oven (or you risk a collapsed soufflé).
