Spelt is a great source of tryptophan, a vital amino acid that can be converted into serotonin - the good mood hormone - if it is consumed in sufficient quantities.

If you are in a hurry, you can use Hokkaido squash instead of butternut squash, because it has a shorter cooking time. In this also choose quick cooking spelt, because it only needs about 20 minutes.

Preparation steps

1.

Line a baking tray with baking paper. Wash pumpkins, cut in half lengthwise, remove seeds and fibers, and cut the flesh crosswise. Place the pumpkin halves on the baking tray with the cut surfaces facing upwards and brush with 2 tablespoons of oil, drizzle with maple syrup and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Bake pumpkin in preheated oven at 200 °C / 400 °F for 40 minutes until soft.

2.

Meanwhile, cook spelt grains according to package directions in twice the amount of boiling salted water for 30-40 minutes over low heat. Then drain and leave to drain.

3.

Meanwhile, cut kale into strips if needed. Peel shallots and garlic and finely dice both. Wash thyme, shake dry and pluck off leaves.

4.

Heat remaining oil in a pan and sauté shallots and garlic for 4 minutes. Sauté the kale for 4 minutes. Add apple juice, mix in spelt and thyme and season with mustard, salt and pepper. Fill kale and spelt mixture into the pumpkins and crumble feta on top and serve.
