cook 750 g peeled, deseeded and chopped butternut squash and 300 g peeled and chopped potatoes in a saucepan of boiling water for 12–15 minutes until tender. Meanwhile, cook ½ shredded Savoy cabbage in a separate pan of boiling water for 4–5 minutes, then drain and keep warm. Meanwhile, poach 4 eggs as for Asparagus with poached eggs. Drain the squash and potatoes, then mash in the pan with 1 tablespoon natural yogurt, 1 tablespoon chopped sage and 25 g butter. Season well and stir in the cabbage.
