Miso-roasted pumpkin with farro.

John Paul Urizar

Pumpkin’s sweet and earthy flavours make it a versatile ingredient for desserts and savoury dishes. In roasted form, it words wonders drizzled with zhoug, squished into tortellini, or tossed into salads, and don’t overlook our recipe for fried pumpkin with yoghurt-herb dressing. Pumpkin takes pride of place in the world of pies and tarts – try it savoury in Danielle Alvarez pumpkin galette with blue cheese and thyme, sweet in our caramel pumpkin pie, or somewhere in between with Pinbone’s maple, bacon and pumpkin tart. And of course, come the cooler months, pumpkin soup reigns suprmeme.
