Recipe provided by Top Shelf Fruits, 225 High Street, Ashburton, VIC 3147.

Serves: 6 as a side.

Time: 45 minutes – 1 hour.

We’ve used sumac salt in this recipe. The sumac gives the pumpkin a rich and lemony taste – they’re a match made in heaven! Trust us, you need this in your pantry!

The pine nuts give this pumpkin dish a great soft creamy texture contrast with their little bit of crunch. This dish perfectly matches a roast lamb or roasted lamb shanks!

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180C.
  2. Toss pumpkin in olive oil, pepper, thyme, garlic and sumac salt.
  3. Place on a baking tray and roast for 35 minutes, or until it is cooked through and some pieces have a little char around the edges.
  4. Heat a small frypan over medium-low heat and toast the pine nuts until they just start to colour. Don’t walk away; they will burn quickly!
  5. To make the sauce, combine yoghurt, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon juice.
  6. Pile pumpkin on a platter and drizzle over the lemon sauce.
  7. Scatter over the pine nuts and finish with coriander.
