Put the blackberries in a small bowl and lightly crush with the back of a fork. Add the shallot, white wine vinegar, caster sugar and thyme leaves. Stir together and set aside to pickle for at least 30 mins.

To make the dressing, remove the blackberries from the vinegar mixture and set aside. Whisk the liquid together with the remaining rapeseed oil.

To serve, layer the squash and kale on a serving dish and crumble over the goat’s cheese. Top with the pickled blackberries and pecans, drizzle with the dressing and season with pepper.
