GEM SQUASH
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the gem squash in a pot, submerge in water, and place over high heat. Once boiling, cook until easily pierced through with a knife, 20-25 minutes. Remove from the pot and cut in half. Scoop out the seeds and discard, then scoop out the flesh and place in a bowl. Season and mash with a fork until smooth.
COCO-Tomato CURRY Chicken
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil (if necessary). When hot, fry the Onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally).

Add the curry paste, the Ginger, the Garlic and fry until fragrant, 30-60 seconds (shifting constantly). Pour in the chopped tomato, the coconut milk along with 50ml [100ml]|#7DA0D7 of water and a sweetener (to taste). Simmer until reduced and slightly thickening, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally).
