On this Pumpkin:

This pumpkin is the queen of our story! This preparations is designed to last for a week in perfect shape when stored in the fridge. If you make it once it can be served with different ingredients and it will taste in different ways.


Some ideas that go great with this pumpkin are:

  • A fresh salad: our pumpkin, some lettuce, rocket salad, and some nuts.

  • In a sandwich or a wrap: spinach, sun dried tomatoes, pumpkin seeds & our roasted pumpkin. Winner!

  • Or our pumpkin can also be eaten on its own with quinoa and other roasted veggies
