  1. Preheat your oven to 180˚C. Drizzle your halved squash or pumpkin with oil and add your thyme and sage into the centre. Roast for 35-40 mins.
  2. Meanwhile make your filling by combining cous cous, preserved fruit, caper, courgette and kale and toss together in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a food processor blitz your chestnuts, breadcrumbs and rosemary. Then add your truffle slices into the nutty crumble.
