This stuffed gem squash is a really autumnal dish that can made using any seasonal squash. It’s also a naturally low fodmap, gluten free recipe! I’ve used this filling to stuff peppers too and swapped the rice for quinoa and it was just as delicious. This recipe may take a little longer to cook but it’s so simple to make, definitely worth a try!
