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.
