Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
ROAST PUMPKIN PUREE
A roasted pumpkin puree will provide a richer flavour and it’s easy to make. Simply cut a medium to small pumpkin in half. Scrape out the seeds and place halves, cut side down on a lined baking tray. Heat oven to 180°C and roast for one-and-a-half hours or until a fork can easily pierce them. Cool the pumpkin havles, scoop the pulp out and puree in a blender.
