Move aside poppy seed, try poppy leaf...

Ingredients:

250g Butternut Squash, diced into 1.5cm cubes

3 Cloves of Garlic, crushed

25g Roasted Hazelnuts, skins removed

3 Yarrow Umbels, roughly chopped

10g Poppy leaf

2 tbsp Olive Oil

1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar

Method:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, add the garlic followed by ½ the yarrow flowers and the butternut pieces.

2. Season with salt and pepper. (The garlic and yarrow flowers should brown and caramelise to release their flavour.)

3. Sauté on a low heat turning the butternut pieces every few minutes. 

4. When they begin to colour, place the pan into a pre-heated oven for 10 minutes allowing the butternut to brown and cook through.

5. Meanwhile, crush the hazelnuts in a pestle and mortar.

6. Once removed from the oven, return the pan to a medium low heat, add the balsamic vinegar, poppy leaves and hazelnuts.

7. Cook the greens out briefly and finish with the remaining yarrow flowers. Serve immediately!
