INGREDIENTS | Serves 8, Prep Time 30 Mins, Cook Time 3 Hours

– 5kg pumpkin

– 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to drizzle

– 100ml sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)

– Juice of 1 lemon

– 3 1/2 tsp za’atar (Middle Eastern spice mix)

– 2 long green shallots, thinly sliced

YOGHURT DRESSING (MAKES APPROX. 400ML)

– 1 cup (250ml) buttermilk

– 75g Greek yoghurt

– 1 eschalot, finely chopped

– 1/4 bunch coriander, finely chopped, plus extra leaves to serve

– Finely grated zest & juice 2 limes

– 1/2 tsp ground cumin

– Pinch cayenne pepper

– 1/4 cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Place pumpkin in a large roasting pan. Drizzle with extra olive oil and season liberally all over. Roast pumpkin for 2 hours-2 hours 30 minutes until tender and cooked. (Check to see if pumpkin is cooked by piercing with a metal skewer. It’s cooked when the skewer is inserted easily with no resistance.) Set aside to cool.

2. Meanwhile, for the yoghurt dressing, place all ingredients in a medium bowl, season to taste and stir to combine.

3. To make the sweet soy dressing, place the sweet soy sauce, lemon and olive oil in a small bowl. Season to taste and whisk to combine.

4. Cut pumpkin into large pieces and place on a large serving platter. Spoon over yoghurt dressing and sweet soy dressing. Scatter over za’atar, long green shallot and extra coriander leaves to serve.

Enjoy!
