Add the squash, peanut butter and coconut milk with 250ml of water and stir everything together. Turn down the heat to low, put the lid on and simmer for 30-35 minutes, until the squash is soft but still holding its shape. Stir every so often and add a little more water if needed.
Add the tenderstem and continue to simmer for a further 5-8 minutes, until tender but still with some bite.
