  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  2. Cut the butternut squash in half lengthways, scoop out the seeds and score the flesh in a criss-cross pattern.
  3. Rub with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper and roast for around 40 minutes, or until tender.
  4. Meanwhile, make the dressing. Add the chickpeas, chickpea water, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, sage and a pinch of salt and pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. For a thinner dressing, add a little more chickpea water. For a thicker consistency, add a few extra chickpeas. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  6. Once the squash is cooked, spoon the Merchant Gourmet 5 Glorious Grains into the cavity of each squash half.
  7. Return to the oven for 5–10 minutes until the grains are warmed through.
  8. Drizzle generously with the creamy dressing and finish with the mixed seeds before serving.
