Roasted Jap Pumpkin with Lemony Yoghurt Sauce
We’ve used our new Barnáe olive oil and sumac salt in this recipe.
The sumac gives the pumpkin a rich and lemony taste – they’re a match made in heaven!
Trust us, you need this in your pantry!
The pine nuts give this pumpkin dish a great soft creamy texture contrast with their little bit of crunch.
This dish perfectly matches a roast lamb or roasted lamb shanks!

Serves 6 as a side
Ingredients
½ medium-sized jap pumpkin, diced and peeled
Olive oil
1 tsp pepper
6 stalks thyme
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 ½ tsp Sumac Salt
1 cup Greek yoghurt
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
3 tbsp lemon juice
4 tbsp pine nuts
A handful of coriander, chopped
Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Toss pumpkin in olive oil, pepper, thyme, garlic and sumac salt.
Place on a baking tray and roast for 35 minutes, or until it is cooked through and some pieces have a little char around the edges.
Heat a small frypan over medium-low heat and toast the pine nuts until they just start to colour. Don’t walk away; they will burn quickly!
To make the sauce, combine yoghurt, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon juice.
Pile pumpkin on a platter and drizzle over the lemon sauce.
Scatter over the pine nuts and finish with coriander.
