3 Autumnal Recipes You Need To Try
3 Autumn Recipes to Cosy Up Your Evenings
Autumn is for slowing down, cooking something that warms you through, and pairing it with your favourite Monty Booch. Here are three simple, comforting recipes with matched kombuchas.
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
Serves: 4 · Time:
Creamy, comforting roasted squash soup — perfectly balanced with Monty Booch Lady Sourmouth (Apple, Ginger & Lemon).
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 3 garlic cloves
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Olive oil, salt, pepper
- A pinch of nutmeg
Method
- Toss squash, carrots, onion, and garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 200°C / 400°F until soft and caramelised (25–30 minutes).
- Blend the roasted vegetables with broth until smooth.
- Warm gently on the stove, add nutmeg, taste, and adjust seasoning.
Monty Booch pairing: Lady Sourmouth — crisp apple and ginger-lemon brighten the soup’s creamy sweetness.
Apple & Cheddar Galette
Serves: 6 · Time:
Rustic pastry with apples, cheddar, and honey — best enjoyed with Monty Booch Sir Christopher Berry (Mixed Berry).
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of pie crust
- 2 apples, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sharp cheddar, grated
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp fresh thyme (optional)
Method
- Preheat oven to 190°C / 375°F. Roll out pastry on a baking sheet.
- Scatter cheddar in the centre, layer apple slices, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle thyme.
- Fold the edges over to make a rustic circle and bake 30–35 minutes until golden.
Monty Booch pairing: Sir Christopher Berry — lush berry flavours contrast beautifully with the sharp cheese and sweet apples. Lady Sourmouth would also work well here.
One-Pot Sausage & Lentil Stew
Serves: 4–5 · Time:
Hearty sausage and lentil stew — rich and smoky, perfectly matched with Monty Booch Lord Hopsworth (Blueberry & Hops).
Ingredients
- 2 sausages, sliced
- 1 cup green or brown lentils
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 4 cups broth
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Olive oil, salt, pepper
Method
- Sauté onion, carrots, and celery in olive oil until softened.
- Add sausage and paprika, cook until browned.
- Stir in lentils, tomatoes, and broth. Simmer 30–40 minutes until lentils are tender.
Monty Booch pairing: Lord Hopsworth — crisp, hoppy blueberry character stands up to the stew’s smokiness.
