Squash Crumble

|This savoury pumpkin crumble is a lovely way of cooking the whole of the pumpkin without wasting any of it. It also works with any other root veg. The inspiration for this dish came from the brilliant €˜Leiths Vegetarian Bible which has a recipe for pumpkin and tarragon cobbler. The tarragon is switched for rosemary and thyme and to save time went for a crumble topping instead.|pumpkin squash|600g squash or pumpkin1 tin butterbeans or chickpeas drained1 tin chopped tomatoes1 large onion sliced2 carrots cut into 1 inch chunks2 tablespoons tamari or low salt soy sauce2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary150g kale2 cloves garlic crushed1 teaspoon paprikaA few sprigs thyme1 tablespoon olive oilFor the crumble topping120g wholemeal flour6 tablespoons olive oil50g oats50g pumpkin seeds (cook the seeds in the squash or pumpkin see step 3)|Pre-heat the oven to 160c.Peel the squash or pumpkin and remove the seeds.
