SPICE ROASTED PUMPKIN

This first recipe appeared a while back, wow it’s been almost 10 years! This is an another share of this spice roasted pumpkin, it’s that good. The soft, salty- sweet slices are a great side to add to the holiday table.  The recipe is at home with a traditional turkey dinner or as part of my vegan Everything But the Bird menu.

MASHED PUMPKIN WITH MAPLE AND PARMESAN CHEESE

If you have roasted a large pumpkin like I did, aQueensland Blue,  chances are you will have some leftovers, which are perfect for the salty-sweet mash, a more traditional take on pumpkin.  By using the already spiced roasted pumpkin slices creates a great base for another pumpkin side dish. No boring sides on my table. The pureed pumpkin is spiked with bacon bits and maple syrup. A dollop of butter, some Parmesan cheese and off into the oven to bake into a buttery spiced goodness.

Slow Roasted Cherry Tomato & Basil Sauce

SLOW ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES | Bijouxs Little Jewels

Life is a bowl full of cherries, cherry tomatoes that is. Slow Roasted Cherry Tomatoes & Basil savoring the little jewels of Summer.

THE MENU

Nearing the end of summer the tomato plants give it one last go, producing the last of the tomatoes in the blistering September heat. Even along the coast the sun has been pounding down on the garden and the tomatoes are going crazy. Time to pull out all my tomato recipes.

SLOW ROASTING

We know what slow roasting can do for vegetables, it works the same magic on cherry tomatoes. The slow temp coaxes out the sugary sweetness of the fruit. It takes a bit of time but worth every minute, producing cherry tomatoes perfect for sauces, pasta dishes and of course this lovely to add to your Charcuterie platter.

BASIL SAUCE

Another end of season crop is basil, and fresh basil creates this simple sauce to bathe the tomatoes in, plus it is very easy to make. Serving the tomatoes with sauce creates a perfect vehicle to dip sliced bread in then top with a tomato.
