Method
- Set oven to Gas Mark 6 or 200°C. Put squash and onion wedges in a roasting tin, brush with olive oil and roast for 35-40 minutes until squash is almost tender.
- Meanwhile, put the rice in an ovenproof dish and pour over 450ml (15fl oz) hot water. Cover and cook in the oven for 20 minutes until the rice is almost tender. Drain off the water.
- Stir half the grated Parmesan into the rice, then spoon the mixture into the squash hollows, sprinkle the rest of the cheese all over the squash, along with plenty of seasoning. Add pepper chunks and put the roasting tin back in the oven for about 15 minutes.
