Preparatory work:
- Preheat the plancha BBQ to a high temperature. Make sure the fire is well hot for even cooking.
- Place the whole pumpkin in the fire. Roast the pumpkin for 30-40 minutes, turning frequently, until the skin is blackened and the flesh is completely soft. The exact time may vary depending on the heat of your BBQ. Test with a knife to make sure the flesh is soft.
Let's cook!
- Remove the squash from the plancha BBQ and let cool slightly. Cut open the pumpkin and scoop out the soft flesh with a spoon. Place the pumpkin flesh in a mixing bowl and crush with a fork. Add 2 tbsp olive oil, the lime juice, cumin powder, paprika, garlic powder, and chili flakes and cilantro, if desired. Mix well and taste, adding additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- Grill the flatbread on the plancha BBQ for 1-2 minutes per side, or until hot and slightly crispy.
- Scoop the butternut squash dip into a bowl.
- Crumble the feta over the dip and sprinkle the pipe onions on top along with a wedge of lime.
- Serve the butternut squash dip with the warm flatbread.
Suggestion
- You can also roast chestnuts or other nuts and dress with them for a little more bite.
- This method gives the squash a deep smoked flavor and a unique texture. Perfect for a BBQ party! Enjoy your meal!
