  1. WHAT A GEM!

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the deseeded gem squash halves on a roasting tray, cut-side up. Lightly drizzle with oil and season to taste. Roast in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and soft. At the halfway mark, pop a small knob of butter into each half and return to the oven for the remaining cooking time. Remove from the oven on completion.

  2. TOASTY

    Place the Almonds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and roughly chop.

  3. FRESH AS EVER

    In a salad bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Just before serving, toss through the diced Cucumber, ½ the chopped oregano, and the drained feta.

  4. GUILT-FREE CRUMB

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the crumb and fry until golden, about 2-3 minutes, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion. Pat the basa dry with paper towel. Rub some oil into the fillet until well coated, season, and place on a lightly oiled baking tray. Top the fillet with the fried crumb. Pop in the hot oven and bake for 7-10 minutes until the basa is cooked through.

  5. ENJOY!

    Plate up the gloriously crumbed basa and side with the steaming gem squash halves. Serve the green salad on the side and garnish with the toasted Almonds. Sprinkle over the remaining oregano to taste.
