T’is the season! Or at least it will be soon, where fall kicks in for real, and pumpkins will be abundant. And while pumpkins are great for everything from stews to pies, you can also do easy-to-make/5-minute recipes like this delicious and healthy pumpkin-spread.
Ingredients:
* Pumpkin slices (I used a 1/4 Hokkaido, for a spread serving 3 one-year-olds)
* Chunk of butter (1 tbs for the above quantity of pumpkin)
* Oatmeal ( 3 tbs for the above)
* Dash of dried ground Cilantro/Coriander (Or similar spices to taste)
How to:
* Cut pumpkin in slices, remove seeds and cut off the peel.
* Put the slices in a container suitable for microwave, and cover with water. Cook for approx. 7 min. on highest setting, until the pumpkin is soft and mushy.
* Drain the water from the container, and stir in butter, oatmeal and coriander with a fork. Et Voila! Ready to serve.
– Serve while still warm (or store for later), as spread on bread, as a dip, or add milk to use as a healthy alternative to sauce.
