Best 5 Pumpkin And Chickpea Ratatouille Recipes

PUMPKIN AND CHICKPEA RATATOUILLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220°C.
• Place the pumpkin in a single layer onto an oven tray. Drizzle with half of the oil. Roast uncovered for 20 minutes or until tender. Remove any skins.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large saucepan. Cook the onion and garlic, stirring, until the onion softens. Add the tomato paste and cook a further minute.
• Add the vinegar, undrained tomatoes, water (or stock), allspice, chickpeas and pumpkin. Bring to the boil and then simmer for 5-10 minutes.
• Serve ratatouile over couscous or quinoa. Garnish by sprinkling over some fresh herbs such as parsley or basil.

PUMPKIN CURRY WITH CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a sauté pan, then gently fry the curry paste with the onions, lemongrass, cardamom and mustard seed for 2-3 mins until fragrant. Stir the pumpkin or squash into the pan and coat in the paste, then pour in the stock and coconut milk. Bring everything to a simmer, add the chickpeas, then cook for about 10 mins until the pumpkin is tender. The curry can now be cooled and frozen for up to 1 month.
• Squeeze the juice of one lime into the curry, then cut the other lime into wedges to serve alongside. Just before serving, tear over mint leaves, then bring to the table with the lime wedges and warm naan breads.
