I've got a pumpkin I need to use up, last of last seasons homegrown.It's getting too warm now for hot dishes, does anyone have a cold dish/salad type recipe?Just after something not too heavy.

I roast chopped/cubed pumpkin in sundried tomato oil, when cool I put onto a platter, and put feta, sliced sundried tomato, and roasted cooled pumpkin seeds on top, YUMMO..... the oil the pumpkin is cooked in makes the most delish dressing, so make sure you scrap it all onto the platter also.

We use it in a Rissoni Salad... or with the big couscous... a bit like this...

Coat pumpkin in the T of olive oil and bake 200 until tender.Cool. While pumpkin cooking chop the sundried tomatoes finely and cover with water to soak in small bowl for at least an hour or blend in strong blender. When softened add to remaining dressing ingred and blend to combine.The mixture is better a little chunky. Toss chickpeas and pumpkin and sprinkle with the coriander or mint.

I made a pumpkin salad for a crowd today: Peeled and cubed a huge pumpkin, steamed until just tender but still firm. Put in a wide, shallow dish and poured over a vinaigrette with lots of garlic and chopped herbs (while still hot). Carefully turned over once when cool and garnished with rocket leaves and some cherry tomatoes. Was an absolute winner!

The Julie Le Clerc one rocks, get your pumpkin cubed, slow roasted and you can't go wrong

I cook either cubed pumpkin or golden kumera in sundried tomato oil until it is softened and browned, I then let it cool and then platter it, I then sprinkle on top cubed feta cheese, roasted pumpkin seeds and either sundried tomatos or roasted strips of pepper, Makes it own sauce, NEVER ever have any left when I make this.
