About This Recipe

In this recipe we bring together a couple of our Brilliant Base recipes to produce a really simple and easy lunch or dinner option for one. The main vessel used here is our heart-roasted squash, filled with our stripped chicken and our katsu curry sauce, alongside a coconut version of our baked rice. 


Don’t worry, you are not seeing double! The opening scene of this video was filmed to cover both of our heart-roasted butternut squash videos as we originally intended them to be filmed as one video but thought it more user-friendly to split them up.
