Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 kg Pumpkin
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
Cut the pumpkin into large chunks, remove seeds and stringy bits, and peel.
Place pumpkin chunks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pumpkin is fork-tender.
Meanwhile, finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the roasted pumpkin to a blender or food processor along with coconut milk, sautéed garlic, fresh thyme, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.
Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mash is too thick, add more coconut milk gradually until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the creamy pumpkin mash into a serving bowl and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and chopped parsley.
Serve warm as a delightful side dish or enjoy it as a main course with crusty bread.
