Sweet Pumpkin and salty Bacon are a delicious combination for this salad. Ham can be used instead of Bacon if you prefer. Use your favourite type of Pumpkin, but please be aware some types of Pumpkin tend to become very soft and wet when cooked. Those types are perfect for mushy salad. You can leave …
I have received a message from someone who was looking for an alternative Pizza sauce as she could no longer eat Tomato and Garlic. She tried my ‘Miso & Mushroom Pizza’ and it seems she enjoyed it though she was skeptical first. ‘Hoisin Sauce & Chicken Pizza’ is also really yummy. For ‘Teriyaki Chicken Pizza’, …
When I cook ‘Pumpkin Soup’, I usually cook Pumpkin with Onion and Potato. Today I cooked with Onion and Cauliflower, expecting less starchy & lighter texture. The texture of this soup was still thick and creamy, but I liked the flavour very much. I usually don’t add Garlic to Pumpkin Soup, but I added 1 …
Using leftover Pumpkin Soup, I made ‘Macaroni Cheese’ yesterday, but I still had some leftover. To use it up, I made this Rice Cooker Risotto replacing a part of Chicken Stock with the Pumpkin Soup. We shouldn’t underestimate computerised rice cookers. Rice Cooker Risotto is not disappointing. Makes 2 Small Servings Ingredients 1 tablespoon Olive …
When I make Pumpkin Soup, I always end up having some leftover that no one wants to eat. Today I used it to make this Macaroni Cheese. I simply replaced a part of Milk with Pumpkin Soup. This Macaroni Cheese is very yellow and looks yummy, and it is yummy and nutritious. You can bake …
Today I needed to use up leftover cooked Pumpkin. I decided to make a rice cooker cake. If your rice cooker has ‘Cake’ setting, it is absolutely easy and energy efficient to cook cakes, frittata and crustless quiche. I line the base of the rice cooker’s inner pot with baking paper. If your rice cooker …
If you have some leftover cooked Pumpkin (roasted OR steamed), puree it, and mix it with Hummus. I used store-bought Hummus. Pureed Pumpkin adds the lovely sweetness to Hummus. But the more important addition is Pomegranate Molasses, which I have been struggling to use up. The sweet and sour Pomegranate Molasses transforms the ordinary Hummus …
There are many Pumpkin Curry recipes out there, but I just don’t have the ingredients that are required for those recipes. I always have a tin of S&B Curry Powder which I love, and I make a variety of curries using it. Today I seasoned this Pumpkin Curry with the S&B Curry Powder, Soy Sauce …
Most Pumpkin Cake recipes require mashed (OR pureed) Pumpkin. I wanted an easier recipe. Then I decided to use my own ‘My Legendary Carrot Cake’ recipe, replacing Carrot with Pumpkin. I didn’t add Pineapple and Sultanas to this Pumpkin Cake, but you may wish to add them. The result? It was seriously delicious. Makes 1 …
Leftover Salami and Sour Cream, that’s what I wanted to use up today. I instantly thought of cooking ‘Hungarian Salami, Boiled Eggs & Potato Sour Cream Bake’, but I decided to use Pumpkin. I didn’t want to bother making Boiled Eggs. So, what I did was very simple as you can read below. The result …
After my ‘Pumpkin Panna Cotta’ and ‘Pumpkin Creme Brûlée’ were so successful, I wanted to try another similar dessert, that is Bavarois. Bavarois is set with Gelatine like Panna Cotta, and the ingredients are almost identical with Creme Brûlée. I added 1 cup of pureed Cooked Pumpkin. This Bavarois tastes wonderful, looks pretty, and it …
This is another good way to use up your leftover Cooked Pumpkin. This bread doesn’t taste like Pumpkin, but it has the beautiful yellow colour and also the nutrients of the vegetable. The dough can be very soft and sticky. This is my favourite type of bread dough. Do not try to knead it if …
