Method:
You need to start this recipe the day before.
First make the labneh, by mixing the ricotta, yogurt and salt in a bowl. Spoon into the centre of a piece of muslin or a clean J-cloth, bring in the edges, secure with string, then leave in a sieve over a bowl in the fridge to drain overnight.
The next day start by making the roast vegetables.
Heat the oven to 200ºC /392F/ Gas 7.
Line 2 large oven trays with baking paper.
Cut the butternut squash in half and then into 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick slices. Put in a large bowl with the swede and parsnips. Mix the marmalade with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, then pour it over the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well to coat. Arrange the squash in a single layer on one tray and the swede and parsnips on the other. Roast both trays of vegetables in the oven for 25 minutes.
Heat the remaining 2 tbsp oil in a pan with the shallots. Cook over a low heat for 4-5 minutes until tender and sweet. Add the garlic, chilli and cumin seeds and cook on a low heat for 2 minutes.
Remove the butternut squash from the oven after testing it with the point of a knife to check it’s tender. Continue to roast the swede and parsnips for a further 15 minutes, then remove from the oven.
Spoon the labneh from the muslin/j-cloth into a bowl and mix in the lemon zest and parsley. Taste and check the seasoning.
Layer the cooked squash, swede and parsnips onto a large serving platter and dot generous spoonfuls of herbed labneh all over. Drizzle with any roasting juices and spoon the spiced shallots over the top. Put the remaining labneh in a bowl and serve alongside.
