Method
Ingredients
- 600 grams peeled pumpkin flesh
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp sour cream
- 2 Tbsp fresh chopped coriander
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp minced ginger
- ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ tsp Tabasco-style chilli sauce
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Cut the pumpkin into 2cm chunks. Toss in a roasting pan with the vegetable oil to coat. Roast for 30 minutes or until the pumpkin is soft and golden brown. A little charring adds to the flavour. Remove from the oven; cool to room temperature.
- Put into the bowl of your food processor with the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Check flavour and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.
REAL TIPS
Pumpkins vary in moisture content so if required, add a little water to adjust the consistency of the purée.
