The cold season and pumpkin are an absolute dream team! Pumpkin as a soup, as a puree, from the oven or pan is simply always a very good idea. Did you know that pumpkin is also super popular in the Levant? There, for example, people love to make “pumpkin kibbeh”. Kibbeh is a kind of meatball with bulgur – roughly speaking. But here we’re talking about an oven-baked pumpkin on a bed of deliciously fresh lemon yoghurt with a variety of tasty toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pumpkin with a difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oven vegetables are a very fine thing. It’s super tasty, very healthy and ready in no time. It often saves the day for me when I’m so incredibly hungry after a long day that I even wildly bite the people around me (I’ve done it before…).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if I have to be really quick, I get really creative and like to throw things together. That’s how this recipe came about, by the way. So when the time comes again, the recipe has to be made quickly – and it has to have that certain something extra. So I put the pumpkin on creamy yoghurt, which I have previously mixed with lemon zest. As a topping, I sprinkle freshly roasted hazelnuts, a few pomegranate seeds and a generous dollop of Zhug<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beautifully spicy, but somehow still wonderfully mild<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Zhug is a spicy chilli-coriander sauce that adds a lot of fire to the roasted pumpkin, but also brings many delicious flavours from the Levant. Don’t worry: Zhug is really easy to make yourself and you can decide how hot you want it. In addition, the fresh yoghurt softens the spiciness considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with the toppings, a small culinary journey is created that begins at home and ends in the Levant. You taste the earthy pumpkin, then the lemony yoghurt, then the crunchy hazelnuts that you have freshly roasted beforehand. And the sweet and sour pomegranate seeds surprise you as little explosions in your mouth. Sounds good, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m very sure you’ll love this version of oven-roasted pumpkin as much as I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
