Hi Christine! Glad to see you made it over to the forums.
There's lots of different suggestions to be made for these ingredients (I hope there'll be some more offered) but if I were you I'd cut the butternut squash in half lengthways, dress lightly in olive oil and salt and dried chili and then roast at about 190°C, flesh side down until they're soft all the way through (you can roast the baby fennel with them too). Then you can scoop out the flesh and serve it mixed with diced onions and pepper etc - gorgeous. I'd maybe do a nice vegetable-filled sauce with the rest of the ingredients too (chop it all and fry in the bottom of a large pan until soft, and then maybe add tinned tomatoes or something?) and then serve that on top of/next to your roasted butternut squash.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
I have just tried twice to make Jamie Oliver's Banana and honey bread. Epic fail! The first time I followed the instructions to the letter and it turned out as a horrible mush and wasn't cooked hardly at all and didn't rise at all. The I realized that the instructions in the recipe didn't say to warm the banana mix through to tepid.
This I did the second time and followed everything exactly. it rose but not to double the size. the second rising puffed up a tiny bit but nothing major. After baking it the way the recipe said, same thing, dull stodge! 20 minutes is simply not long enough for thngs that are stacked together, so I separated them and baked them again for another 10 minutes, still not done, so I turned them upside down for another 8 minutes. they are now just about cooked but very brown now and simply not worth the effort.
This is the fifth Jamie Oliver recipe that I have tried to cook that has turned out badly. I'm a good cook, not an amateur the recipes are just not written correctly.
What an expensive exercise as even the birds won't eat it!

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Welcome suzymac...
Sorry to hear about your problems with this recipe. I've tried loads of Jamies recipes and have always had a decent result...............can't say I've ever tried this one, but I'm sure you know the old saying..
"If at first you don't succeed...
Give up and try something else instead"
