Chickpeas with Butternut Squash

A great vegetarian option and could be combined with rice instead of the squash for a variation on another night.

1 butternut squash cut in half length ways
2 tins chickpeas drained
2tbsp rapeseed oil divided
1 medium white onion
1tbsp tomato puree
1tsp each nigella, cumin, coriander, turmeric, dried chilies
3 cardamom pods bruised to release their seeds
2 cloves of garlic peeled and mashed
4cm piece of ginger peeled and grated
1 tin coconut milk (you can use light if you like)
2 tbsp fresh herbs flat leaf parsley or coriander
A squeeze of lemon or lime

Oven at 180C
Sprinkle the squash with 1 tbsp of oil, season well and using a sharp knife, cut into it at intervals to ensure even cooking.
Bake for about 30 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile heat the oil over a medium heat, add the onion and cook until tender.
Add in the garlic, ginger and spices and cook for 5 minutes until the spices have lost that rawness.
If it seems to dry just add a splash of water.
Stir in the puree, the coconut milk and stir to combine.
Add the chickpeas and cook over a medium heat for about 10 minutes until the chickpeas are warm and the flavours are well developed.
Stir in 1 tbsp fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice to finish.
Serve with the roasted butternut squash or with rice on its own if you prefer.
