Arabian Squash – Cheese Casserole

A little fiddly (in the cutting mainly) but these are a fantastically healthy tasty snack. Great for taking to work, school lunch boxes or munching with drinks. Leave out the cinnamon if you’re not a fan. Once baked and cooled they will store for several days in an air tight container….if you can manage to keep them that long!

  • 1 onion
  • 1 or 2 chilli peppers
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic
