Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

Sage, butternut squash and mushrooms are such a wonderful autumnal combination, and adding feta to roast along with the vegetables provides both texture and flavour. This salad is based on a recipe from my friend Emma.

Ingredients

700g butternut squash, cut into 1½cm cubes
1 red onion, roughly chopped
4 cloves of garlic, smashed
300g chestnut or portabellini mushrooms, halved
4 tbsp olive oil
sea salt
15 sage leaves
200g feta cheese, crumbled
350g cherry tomatoes, on the vine
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ lemon, juice only
1 tbsp mustard
100g rocket and watercress leaves

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C fan/220°C/gas 7. Place the squash, red onion, garlic and mushrooms into a large roasting tin, mix well with the olive oil, sea salt and half of the sage leaves and transfer to the oven to roast for 50 minutes.

Give the vegetables a bit of a stir, then scatter with the feta cheese. Top with the cherry tomatoes and the rest of the sage leaves and return to the oven for a further 15 minutes, until the squash is soft and the tomatoes just about to fall apart.

Meanwhile, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard and sea salt to taste. Dress the leaves once the vegetables are ready, and serve alongside.
