Instructions
- Preheat oven to 220°C/430°F (200°C fan). Line a tray with baking/parchment paper.
- Peel, deseed and cut pumpkin into 3cm / 1.2" cubes - see photos in post for how I do it with little effort. You should end up with about 1 kg - enough to fill a tray.
- Place pumpkin in a bowl, add garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil. Toss well using a rubber spatula.
- Spread on tray. Roast 20 minutes. Turn pumpkin pieces, then roast a further 7 to 10 minutes until nicely coloured but holding it's shape, rather than being a mushy mess.
- Mix ingredients then set aside for at least 10 minutes to let the flavours develop.
- Preheat skillet over medium high heat (no oil). Add pine nuts and cook, stirring regularly, until it smells amazing and it's got a hint of browning on both sides. Remove from pan.
- Pile the pumpkin in a mound on a plate. Drizzle over yogurt sauce, add a little drizzle of olive oil, then sprinkle with sumac, pine nuts and coriander.
- I think it's best served with the pumpkin hot or warm, but for a warm summer day, it is also excellent served at room temperature. Just cool pumpkin, then dress and garnish just before serving.
