Whoever said vegetables were not versatile? Marinaded Barley Malt Butternut Squash Medallions is another of my favourite dishes.  I love butternut squash because there are so many wonderful dishes to make using this ingredient. These make a fantastic main course dish. The malt barley really brings out the sweetness of the butternut squash, yet not overpowering it. This recipe has been updated as I wanted to experiment with the flavours and textures.

What to do next

Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.

Love.
