Spiced pumpkin seeds
I made this with a little help from my daughter. She's 5 and thought a nice smiley face would make a change. I think she's got a point. It makes me laugh anyway. The seeds were delicious. I simmered them for 10mins in salted water to cook the shells and then toasted them in a hot dry pan with ground cumin, chilli, cinammon. I added a splash of olive oil at the end to help it stick. I may have over-done the chilli though... Don't touch your eyes after eating them! (You get the gunk off the seeds by putting them in sink full of water. The gunk sinks, the seeds float.)
Spice Roasted Pumpkin
I made a roast pumpkin dish earlier tonight. I bashed up a mix of fennel,coriander, cumin and red chilli seeds, with garlic and a little olive oil. I rubbed it over slices of a small pumpkin and a torn-up red pepper. Then roasted alongside a lemon chicken. It was great. Sweet & really spicy. This is the pumpkin just before roasting for 30mins at 180°C.
