Instructies

Pumpkin puree

  • Preheat the oven on 170 degrees Celcius
  • Remove the seeds from the halved pumpkin, put a clove of garlic in the pumpkin, pour a dash of olive oil over it. Roast the pumpkin for 30 minutes until it is completely cooked.
  • Cut the pumpkin into pieces and remove the skin. Puree the pumpkin in a blender or with an immersion blender. If it remains too firm, add a few tablespoons of plant-based milk. Mix until you have a smooth puree. Season with salt and pepper.

Mushroom leek mixture

  • Meanwhile, cut the shallots in half, the mushrooms into slices and the leek into thin rings.
  • Saute the shallots, mushrooms and leek in a dash of olive oil.

Spinach dressing

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until a sauce forms. If it's still too thick, you can either add a little more lemon juice or a little water. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the puree to a plate and top with the mushrooms, shallots and leek rings. Garnish with a tablespoon of dukkah and a drizzle of spinach dressing.
