Thanks MM I looked at the old post, I have to go and see their pricing as I am currently trying the Butternut squash and the celeriac with some success and was looking at doing these regularly.

What other spices can be added together with curry?

Hi Nacho, yes, butternut squash locally grown... distributed (and possibly grown) by Dizon Farms in Mindanao. Pretty regular availability, I buy mine at the lobby of SM Makati or at Dizon farms in Market!Market! They are good. A bit pricey recently, but good. Did a feature on them, here.

MM, may I know if your butternut squash is locally grown? If so who sells them, and if they have a regular supply?

A touch of Styrian pumpkin seed oil and grinded hulled dried pumpkin seeds on top makes it even more flavourful :-)

Squash has been a lifesaver during hubby’s gouty attacks: baked and sprinkled with bits of feta cheese, tahini and coriander garnish, squash soup ( I like to add some pureed carrots as well), simply sauteed with squash blossoms added if available or julienned, sauteed and served as torte or omelet with chopped basil.

Never thought I could eat squash everyday in its different culinary variations.

I love squash soup but never thought of roasting it.I will try your method and the curry spice as well. I only add a dash of grated nutmeg and sour cream on top.

Will have to try your version because I absolutely love kalabasa soup and is always on the lookout for new ways to do it :)
