Ingredients

• 4 cups butternut Squash peeled, seeded and cubed

Instructions

1. In the pressure cooker over medium heat soften onions with the sage, salt and pepper.
   
2. When the onions are soft, move onions aside and put enough squash cubes to cover the base of the pressure cooker, let brown for for about 10 minutes stirring infrequently.
   
3. Add the rest of the squash along with the ginger, nutmeg, and stock.
   
4. Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker. Turn the heat up to high and when the cooker reaches pressure, lower to the heat to the minimum required by the cooker to maintain pressure.
