Recipe

Roast Pumpkin:

Preheat oven to 190°C. Peel and de-seed pumpkin and cut into 3 cm chunks. Spread on a lined baking tray, season with salt, pepper and a little olive oil. Roast until golden and tender, about 20-25 minutes.

Cook Lentils:

Remove husks and silks from corn. Holding the corn cob upright, cut downwards towards board, cutting kernels off the cob. Thoroughly rinse lentils under cold water then place in a pot of water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 20 minutes (until tender), adding corn kernels in the last 5 minutes with a pinch of salt. Drain well.

Toast Pepitas:

Heat a small frypan with a little oil. Add pepitas and soy sauce, toasting for about 2 minutes until golden and aromatic. Set aside.

Gather Ingredients:

Roughly pick dill leaves and chop chives. Combine pumpkin, spinach, lentils, corn, herbs, reserving some for garnish, in a bowl and season to taste.

You Plate It:

Divide the pumpkin salad between bowls and garnish as you wish using yoghurt, coconut flakes, almonds, dill and pepitas. Enjoy!
