📝 Preparation Steps

Roasted Pumpkin:

Preheat oven to 220°C/430°F (200°C fan). Line a tray with baking/parchment paper.

Peel, deseed and cut pumpkin into 3cm / 1.2" cubes - see photos in post for how I do it with little effort. You should end up with about 1 kg - enough to fill a tray.

Place pumpkin in a bowl, add garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil. Toss well using a rubber spatula.

Spread on tray. Roast ⏱️ 20 minutes. Turn pumpkin pieces, then roast a further 7 to ⏱️ 10 minutes until nicely coloured but holding it's shape, rather than being a mushy mess.

Lemon Yogurt Sauce:

Mix ingredients then set aside for at least ⏱️ 10 minutes to let the flavours develop.

Pine Nuts:

pine nuts (or other nuts of choice)2 tbsp

Preheat skillet over medium high heat (no oil). Add pine nuts and cook, stirring regularly, until it smells amazing and it's got a hint of browning on both sides. Remove from pan.

Serving:

Pile the pumpkin in a mound on a plate. Drizzle over yogurt sauce, add a little drizzle of olive oil, then sprinkle with sumac, pine nuts and coriander.

I think it's best served with the pumpkin hot or warm, but for a warm summer day, it is also excellent served at room temperature. Just cool pumpkin, then dress and garnish just before serving.
