Roasted Pumpkin Salad.

Has anyone got any fab recipes for this this type of salad!Have seen a few when I did a search. but thought good to know a tried and true one.

Thanks

We do one with chickpeas, roast pumpkin and eggplant sprinkled with grnd cumin and coriander, paprika & S+P, mixed with feta, lemon juice, olive oil, crushed garlic (as much as you prefer as is spicy when raw) and chopped coriander. If Im using butternut squash I also roast the seeds from it and add those too.

Julie Le Clerc has a lovely pumpkin, chickpea and sundried tomato recipe.
Think I have written it down somewhere, will look later.

All I do is roast pumpkin/kumera/carrot mix or by them selves chopped into cubes, then into a roasting dish with sundried tomato oil. Cook in hot oven till tender, toss a couple of times. Put onto a serving dish, with the oil, when cool I add cubed feta, dry roasted pumpkin seeds and sliced sundried tomato. Yummy

Not a salad, but just saw this recipe for spicy pumpkin scones on the Stuff website and pumpkin harvest is upon us.

PUMPKIN SCONES

2 cups self-raising flour

1/2 cup icing sugar

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground cardamom

1 tsp ground chilli

1 raw red chilli, chopped (optional)

1/2 cup cooked pumpkin, mashed

1 tbsp butter

300ml chilled milk mixed with 1 egg

A little extra milk

Turn the oven on to 220C.

Rub butter into flour; add everything else and mix gently.

Shape scones by hand and place, almost touching, in a lamington tray (i.e. a not too large, high-sided cake tin). Brush with the extra milk.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tops are brown.

Serve with soup, or buttered for lunch with cheese.

They are also surprisingly good with plum jam or medlar jelly.

ROAST PUMPKIN AND CASHEW SALAD
Serves 8
1 peeled and diced medium sized butternut pumpkin
Oil for roasting
Sea salt and pepper
Fresh rosemary
4-5 finely chopped spring onions
1 cup cashew nuts
METHOD
Roast the diced pumpkin with a splash of oil, a sprinkling of fresh rosemary, sea salt and pepper to season. Roast at 180degC and depending on size of your dice the cooking time will vary - but as soon as the pumpkin is soft and a skewer pierces easily, it is cooked.
Cool the pumpkin. Roast the cashew nuts for a few minutes in the hot oven and add to the pumpkin once cooked. First add half of the dressing to the mixture, stir lightly and taste. Sprinkle with half the spring onion. Add more mixture for taste. Garnish with remaining chopped spring onions.
DRESSING
Blend together;
250ml extra virgin olive oil
75ml balsamic vinegar
50ml freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tsp sugar or honey
2-3 tsp curry powder
METHOD
You can use a well-sealed jar and shake vigorously or better still whirl in your food processor to make this dressing.
* Chopped fresh coriander also works well with this salad.
** Add fresh orange segments if desired
