Ingredients

  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 lb (450g) Butternut squash
  • 1 leek
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 small eggplant/aubergine
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • ½ tablespoon thyme leave plus extra for garnish
  • Pecorino cheese for serving
  • 4 ¼ cups (34 fl ounces/ 1 litre) water
  • 5 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
  • Using a knife, remove most of the eggplant skin (it doesn’t need to be perfect). Roughly chop the squash, eggplant and red pepper into medium sized pieces and add to a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Add the thyme leaves and season with salt and pepper then drizzle with 4 tablespoon of olive oil, rub the oil all over the veg.
  • Wrap the garlic cloves (in their skins) in tin foil with a tiny drizzle of olive oil. Roast the vegetables and the garlic in the oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through.
  • Finely slice the leek and red onion. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large pot under a low/medium heat and sauté until soft but not browned. Add the roasted vegetables and water. Simmer for 30 minutes then blitz with a hand held blender until completely smooth, season to taste.
  • Serve in large bowls with grated pecorino cheese and an extra dusting of pepper and thyme leaves.
