Roasted pumpkin with figs
Ce que je vous propose aujourd’hui change un peu de l’ordinaire, je sais. Mais j’aime bien bousculer un peu la cuisine pour arriver à des choses… disons surprenantes. L’accord entre le potimarron rôti et la figue et très intéressant, et en fait un accompagnement sucré-salé tout à fait de saison. Le potimarron rôti apporte la texture et le goût fin de la châtaigne et la figue et le miel, le côté sucré, ce qui me fait dire qu’on pourrait presque se bousculer un peu plus et déguster tout ça en accompagnement de fromage ou en dessert. But the, we tasted it as a savory dish, accompanied by kasha, but it’s up to you to see how you want to support it.. .I even said to myself that this little dish could easily be one of the vegetables on the Christmas table (well yes more than a good month before Christmas !)
And then if you didn't know (in case, I say that I say nothing), no need to peel your pumpkin, the skin becomes tender when cooked, SO, choose it from sustainable or organic agriculture (same for figs !) !
- 1 pumpkin
- 8 figues

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is kasha ?

14.11.14Let's go, I have a pumpkin that catches my eye, I'm trying your recipe this afternoon (I don't have any figs anymore though, I will show my imagination and replace them with something else).
Emilie
14.11.14Ah cool… after reflection, I said to myself why not with chestnuts and apple ! What do you replace it with? ?!
Pauline
14.11.14Hey, that’s funny, I replaced the figs with apples… Delicious ! But I will try it with figs too !
